Obviously I missed something as the system does not boot. BIOS comes up alright. I guess that I overlooked something with the boot files, but what and how to remedy this? Did you reinstall grub (or whatever bootloader you use)? You need something like # grub-install /dev/sda to install the bootloader to the MBR. An rsync would not copy that. No. I did not. Do I need to tell grub-install that the root '/' resides on /dev/sda2, and that the /boot resides on /dev/sda1? If yes: I am not sure how to use the --root-directory option.
