    Maybe you should forget about the Ghost shortcut, and not ignore 30
    years of Unix backup history ;)

    Use "dump" to make a backup of your SCSI disk. Do a minimal FBSD
    install on your IDE disk, using a similar partition and disklabel
    scheme as the FBSD install on the SCSI disk.

    Now use "restore" to transfer the backups to the IDE disk.

    Please note that "dump" and "restore" work on complete filesystems.
