What's the suggested "best practices" way to move system partitions
from one (failing) disk to another?  I dont want to have to ufsdump to
tape then restore back; I'll have both drives online at once so I can
just copy from one partition to another, installboot on the new /, 
edit /etc/vfstab accordingly, power down, remove old disk, and reboot
with new....

Bill (done this beofre, but I used tape as an intermediary step that
time..)
