good ... than use tar or cp or any other fs dependent copying
so then, question is: how to run grub, preferably non-interactively,
in such a way that it actually works (which I guess means, in such a
way that it finds the stage2 file in /boot/grub).
assuming that you can boot it as /dev/hde, /dev/hdf, it does NOT
mean that it will boot as /dev/hda
trivial way to make it boot as /dev/hda:
- assuming you are currently booting from /dev/hda to make the
clone
dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hde bs=446 count=1
I just checked, and with a floppy at least, it preserved the last
bytes on the disc. So It appears that Alvin is correct. This
should not wipe the PT portion of the MBR.
