Old disk was 300GB and failing.  New is 1TB.

I replaced the old harddrive and made few steps to copy the system back
to the new drive (see below).

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.



Many thanks,

Itay
