Ghost for FreeBSD

[Vincent Poy]

	I have a question regarding this as well.  Let's say that my
FreeBSD is running on a Dell Inspiron 8200 notebook with a Fujitsu 2.5"
4200rpm 60GB HD which has 116280 cylinders/16 heads/63 sectors per track/
512 bytes per sector.  I just recently bought a Hitachi TravelStar 7K60
7200rpm 60GB HD which has 116280 cylinders/16 heads/63 sectors per
track, 512 bytes per sector but the problem is I can't use g4u as I have
to remove the FDD from the bay to add the 2nd HDD to the system.  So this
appears that both drives are 100% identical in size and parameters.  What
do I need to do to completely copy the entire drive from the old drive to
the new drive under FreeBSD?  Thanks.
