dd - cloning a disk.

[Grant Peel]

Hi all,

Here is a simple (I think!) question for the I/O savy among you:

If I had two identical disks, say, 73 GB Seagate 10K SCSIs, one completely 
operational fully setup FreeBSD with all the trimmings, and the other blank, 
or perhaps loaded but no longer usable, is 'dd' and appropriate tool to 
completely clone the Good disk to the not so good disk....therefor making 
the second disk identical to the first? Bootable and all?
