At a glance, it looks like the copydisk function will do that:

"4.4 Copying a disk locally
	If you just want to copy one local disk to another one with no network & 
server involved, the "copydisk" command is what you want. E.g. to copy the 
first IDE disk to the second IDE disk, use "copydisk wd0 wd1", to do the same 
for SCSI disks run "copydisk sd0 sd1".  Beware! All data on the target disk 
will be erased! 
	A list of disks as found during system startup can be found using the "disks" 
command."

Cheers!
