My question :- I need to "copy" all from hdb to hda what would be the sugested route? I created a set of similar partitions on new hda with same filesystems then attempted a cp which indeed copied the data but machine refused to boot, sensed that I had been too obvious so after much googling I have looked into parted though with no sucess as yet.
boot from live cd. mount new partitions under /mnt/gentoo (just like an install). chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
now you're on your new drive. grub-install /dev/new_hd_device. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
