" It's been a long time but I seem to remember I could dd disk images

i've only done it between scsi disks and only on sunos4 and solaris2,
but you may be able to pipe dump to restore to move images.  dump
works on the raw device but - on later systems at least - restore
works within the fs, so if you can format the target drive you're good
to go.

you could also use tar or cpio piplines, but in my experience
dump/restore was faster than anything except dd, and it was more
flexible.
