You can also achieve this with dump instead of dd if you want to change the disk size, for example. When I did it I believe I booted both sides off a FreeSBIE disc/ISO since it offers a nicer environment than e.g. the recovery console. The LiveCD option in sysinstall may also be a good way to go. /JMS
