I'm trying to clone a bootable 36 GB disk to another identical 36 GB in
single user mode.


# touch /reconfigure
# sync
# sync
# dd if=/dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s2 of=/dev/rdsk/c2t5d0s2

and after 9 hours the dd command has still not finished, and from what I
gather (not being by the machine), there is not much sign of any disk
activity. The disk are not antique models, so I am surprised that after
9 hours this has not copied. It that to be expected? I know it copies
all the disk (even where there's no data), but am concerned it is just
not going to work.
