about this , i did it on a linux previously . namely (cd /m1;tar cvpf - altroot ) | (cd /m2 ; tar xpf - ) (cd /m1;tar cvpf - bin ) | (cd /m2 ; tar xpf - ) (cd /m1;tar cvpf - boot ) | (cd /m2 ; tar xpf - ) (cd /m1;tar cvpf - bsd ) | (cd /m2 ; tar xpf - ) (cd /m1;tar cvpf - bsd.rd ) | (cd /m2 ; tar xpf - ) (cd /m1;tar cvpf - dev ) | (cd /m2 ; tar xpf - ) (cd /m1;tar cvpf - etc ) | (cd /m2 ; tar xpf - ) (cd /m1;tar cvpf - grub ) | (cd /m2 ; tar xpf - ) (cd /m1;tar cvpf - home ) | (cd /m2 ; tar xpf - ) (cd /m1;tar cvpf - m-sd2 ) | (cd /m2 ; tar xpf - ) (cd /m1;tar cvpf - mnt ) | (cd /m2 ; tar xpf - ) (cd /m1;tar cvpf - root ) | (cd /m2 ; tar xpf - ) (cd /m1;tar cvpf - sbin ) | (cd /m2 ; tar xpf - ) (cd /m1;tar cvpf - sys ) | (cd /m2 ; tar xpf - ) (cd /m1;tar cvpf - tmp ) | (cd /m2 ; tar xpf - ) (cd /m1;tar cvpf - usr ) | (cd /m2 ; tar xpf - ) (cd /m1;tar cvpf - var ) | (cd /m2 ; tar xpf - ) but this is too complex to do , so i simplified that the test openbsd HDD has only one big partiton a . becase my PC has 10GB memory , so it does not need swap . -------- regards
