moving pfSense (BSD)?

I was using my old machine, running pfSense (BSD), and I wanted to move the partition to another drive that has more room.
I thought dd could handle it so I tried, and I can't get it to boot up via grub 2.
I copied over bs=446 count=1 so I got the MBR, but not the partition info, and that seems to be the issue, since I copied over to a 10GB partition, instead of the 2GB one it was using before.

Anyway, just how is one supposed to copy over a BSD partition, and then expand it ? Gparted has no idea about the filesystem BSD is using it seems...
 
If you want to actually clone a BSD partition, try Clonezilla.

That being said, pfSense is designed to be a simple appliance, and it's probably best to treat it as such. There should be an option to export the configuration, which you can import to a new installation.
