I use dump/restore for this.
To create the image, issue the command
dump -0 -v -f image.dmp /
from the directory where you want the image to be written.
To write the image you first have to prepare a partition, mount it
somewhere and cd to there. Then you just do:
restore -r -f image.dmp
You then can take care of grub with dd, if required.
