I just did this

newfs -U -O 2 /dev/da1s1a
mount /dev/da1s1a /mnt
cd /mnt
dump 0buf 126 - / | restore xbf 126 -

First I tried maximum buffer size 1000 but it just always hung on
phase 3 so I tried old tradional block size which has worked 15+ years
:-)

BTW I still can't boot from my UFS2 root slice.
