Thinking about this a bit more. Don't mount all your new partitions before starting dump. Only mount the new root at /mnt. I think you *can* mount them all in advance but there are two sets of mode bits which apply to a mounted filesystem, those of the filesystem, and those of its mount point. I think if you let restore create the mount points you will most accurately clone the permissions. /tmp is particularly different.

Use dump to read the old drive one partition at a time piped thru stdout

head:
# dump -0af - / | ( cd /mnt; restore -rf - )
In copying / you should now have the mount points for other filesystems.
# mount /dev/<newdisk_etc> /mnt/etc
# dump -0af - /etc | ( cd /mnt/etc; restore -rf - )
# mount /dev/<newdisk_var> /mnt/var
# dump -0af - /var | ( cd /mnt/var; restore -rf - )
