I've only just now waded far enough through my e-mail to catch up on
this conversation, so excuse the untimely nature of my comments. To
take this one step further, if you were planning to remove the original
disk, how do you get LILO into the boot sector of the new disk? Would
there be any problems with the device files, i.e. would the new disk now
be seen as /dev/hda instead of /dev/hdb, so fstab would be trying to
mount the new drives with the old partition information?
