What is the SysV equivalent?  How do you do it to the root (possibly only)
filesystem.  Is it save to restore it back to a different disk drive (I'm
thinking about the '386 style /etc/partitions file here)?  Is there any
way to use dcopy without having a spare identical partition (i.e over
RFS or to tape, then back)?
