Reorganize file systems in ISC 2.2?

I am running ISC 2.2 with two hard disks as such:

disk0: root and /usr filesystems
disk1 (added later): /usr2 filesystem


My problem is that now I would like to put the root and /usr filesystems
on the second disk (because it is twice as big as the first and I need
the space under /usr for software that automatically looks there).


The COMBINED space on disk0 is just about right for a single /usr/spool
filesystem for my news articles (which now live on disk1), but the
size of the current /usr is too small, so I need to coalesce disk0 into
a single file system.

Anyone have any suggestions about how to do this smoothly?  As far as I can
see I'll have to reinstall the whole system from the original ISC disks 
(after switching the disk order on hardware) and then reload my stuff.  Any
way to do this without starting with a clean machine?
