Although I have never done it from sash, sash does have dd and thus.. why wouldn't it work.. :) Just make sure all of your drives are low level formatted and type this from sash. dd if=/dev/dsk/cxd0s31 of=/dev/dsk/cyd0s31 bs=512k where x is the source scsi id and y is the destination scsi id. As far as I remember, this copies the entire deal.. MacOS, p-map, eschatology, UNIX, etc.. so after that, you should be good to go.. -- Silica gel -- Do not eat. steveg@ni.umd.edu Disclaimer: If anything I said above is incorrect, never mind.
