so now this has happened to me.
  dell laptop c600
  f1 win98se
  f3 freebsd 4.6-stable

heavy disk activity causes system power down.  disk diags say disk is sick.
if i have to replace the drive, i want to
  o put old drive in second drive slot
  o build it from first drive
  o swap

but, if heavy disk activity kills the box, then i want a very 'calm' dd.
any clues?

or, i can build the new freebsd easily.  but is there a way to dump/restore
the win98se partition from freebsd?
