We just installed MINIX on one of our 20 MB hard disks, and copied the
entire disk to a remote machine by typing:
	from xyz >/dev/hd0
on the remote machine, and
	to xyz </dev/hd0
on the local machine (whose disk we wanted to transfer).  This worked fine
and created a whole new disk image in 16 minutes.  This is a mean transfer
rate of 21K bytes/sec, disk to disk, competing with other Ethernet traffic.
