The FreeBSD livefs ISO filesystem hides hard links, so they can't be

Use `tar cf - | tar xf -' to copy them.
That was my first thought, too. Well, second thought, after 'rsync
-aH'.
But the mounted ISO filesystem doesn't show hard links as hard links:
# ls -li /mnt/rescue
416796 -r-xr-xr-x 414 root wheel 4367520 Jun 9 14:49 [
399564 -r-xr-xr-x 414 root wheel 4367520 Jun 9 14:49 atacontrol
399690 -r-xr-xr-x 414 root wheel 4367520 Jun 9 14:49 atmconfig
399816 -r-xr-xr-x 414 root wheel 4367520 Jun 9 14:49 badsect
...
And rsync or tar never see a hard link to copy.
