You can use this script to do what you want. Just edit the partition sizes.
Then you can use dump/restore from old HD to ad2.

#!/bin/sh
#cd /
#/sbin/umount /mnt

#/sbin/fdisk -BI ad2
#/sbin/disklabel -w -r -B ad2s1 auto

### Need to change this to sizes desired
#/sbin/disklabel -r ad2 > /usr/local/etc/backups/disk.label
#/bin/echo 'a: 256M 0 4.2BSD' >> /usr/local/etc/backups/disk.label
#/bin/echo 'b: 1G * swap' >> /usr/local/etc/backups/disk.label
#/bin/echo 'e: 30G * 4.2BSD' >> /usr/local/etc/backups/disk.label
#/bin/echo 'f: * * 4.2BSD' >> /usr/local/etc/backups/disk.label

#/sbin/disklabel -R -B ad2s1 /usr/local/etc/backups/disk.label

#/bin/rm /usr/local/etc/backups/disk.label

#/sbin/newfs -U /dev/ad2s1a
#/sbin/newfs -U /dev/ad2s1e
#/sbin/newfs -U /dev/ad2s1f
