Hi

I've got a FreeBSD 3.0-RELEASE machine with a hard disk that I am going 
to do some work on to upgrade it to FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE, and i'd like to 
take an image of the file systems on it.

Is it possible for me to dd (copy) the following file systems off:

Filesystem  1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/wd0s1a     31743    18697    10507    64%    /
/dev/wd0s1f   5952717   473236  5003264     9%    /usr
/dev/wd0s1e     29751     2153    25218     8%    /var

and then proceed to mount them on another machine (read only) with a vn?

What would be the commands to do this?

Thanks
