If you successfully do this, can you post how you did it?
The "magic" is in bsd's ftp(1) -o flag, which makes it a bit similar beast
to the wget. It can also pull the file using http or, since 4.0, https -
check "AUTO-FETCHING FILES" section in the man, it's quite fexible piece of
tool.
As for recovering / cloning using bsd.rd, you could simply do something like:
newfs /dev/rwd1e
mount -o async /dev/wd1e /mnt
cd /mnt
ftp -o - ftp://openbsd.example.com/partition.dump | restore rvf -
cd /
umount /mnt
One remark though - use or prepare larger /tmp before doing so, or you may
irritate restore quite a bit, if you recover some larger filesystem.
