In that case, what you will have to do is create a new boot block on the
drive (I have been out of BSD long enough that I can't remember just how),
then fdisk to create partitions, newfs to create file systems, and cpio to
copy the filesystems from one to the other. At VAX speeds, that could wind
up an all-day project.

Subject: re Copying hard drives


I can put the two drives in one machine, but dd will not copy them because
it is the active drive, I only have one machine(out of three) with anything
installed onit. Which is why I wanted to copy them. I also don't know how to
copy the boot block on the vax

Thanks
