Or even ... cat!  I admit that I haven't tried it on A/UX, but I've
successfully cloned SunOS with commands like "cat /dev/rsd0a >/dev/rsd1a".
(We were going to use dd, but just wanted to see if cat would work,
for the hack value.  It had been a long day. :-) )

Apple does *not* officially recommend using "cat" to install A/UX.
