Yes.. you can use dd.  Although I have never done it from sash, sash does have
dd and thus.. why wouldn't it work.. :)

Just make sure all of your drives are low level formatted and type this from
sash.
	dd if=/dev/dsk/cxd0s31 of=/dev/dsk/cyd0s31 bs=512k
where x is the source scsi id and y is the destination scsi id.

As far as I remember, this copies the entire deal.. MacOS, p-map, eschatology,
UNIX, etc.. so after that, you should be good to go..
