a simple way to do this is via dd and copying the backup slice, usually slice 3.
boot the system in single user mode from a cd.
if disk one is c0t0d0 ( source)
and disk two is c0t1d0 ( target)
then the command would be ....
dd if=/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s3 of=/dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s3 bs=2000b

currently, this system only has one disk in it though. i do have the ability to hook up another disk via SCSI.
i have been told i need to boot to "miniroot" to run "dd," but how can i do this? i have searched for help on miniroot but have found nothing that has helped so far. thanks in advance!
