Hi All,
>From what John says,
Everything seems fine about the script except the dump/restore part. I would 
prefer rsync/rdist over dump/restore. one of the reasons being, whenever 
there are deletes in the source file system the same will not be reflected 
on the destination file system. And therefore the destination file system 
will keep on growing.
Anyway these are my thoughts.

To copy the OS, it performs the following steps:

       Partition the copy drive to look the same as the drive we are
booted from
       newfs the appropriate filesystems on the other drive
       fsck the appropriate fileystems on the other drive
       Use dump/restore to copy the OS over to the other drive
       Modifies the /etc/vfstab to look right on the other drive

Setting the alternate boot
