In the experimentation I and my friends have done, that's an
unqualified "maybe." It depends a lot on the relative drive geometries.
If the geometry matches, you should be good to go. I think it also
depends on whether you dd at the filesystem level or the raw device
level.
It works wonderfully on floppy disks and on CD-ROMs, and apparently
works fitfully on hard drives.

So if you want a copy of the
VS3100/38's system disk (540M
Quantum
IIRC) I can dd it to another 540...
Doc
Does that really work???
Can I dd a netbsd 1.5.1 bootable disk to another similar size disk on
a vs3100???? Without partinioning it???
