Sure, as long as dd starts at the first sector, its a decent physical
copy. I've done it with NetBSD, Ultrix, and HPUX on VS3100s, DS3100s, DS5000s
and PARISC machines. works fine. I think it fails on some architectures (I386)
where dd skips the partition table but I'm not really sure about that , just
have not had luck with them.

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???
You peaqued my interest.
