still moving my partitions

[Will Lowe <lowe@mail.eecis.udel.edu>]

Ok.  I had debian installed on a 500mb partition,  hda5.  I've created
four other partitions (for var, usr, home,  and a _new_ /).  I've
successfully moved var,  usr, and home to new partitions via "cp -a".
Concerned over the fact that any partition after hda5 is unbootable (being
past that funky 1gig bios boot limit),  I'm trying to resize hda5 into a
few smaller partitions,  the first of which should be the new /. 
	In doing so,  I've successfully  copied all of the / files to a
new partition,  and set up things (in lilo.conf,  and via rdev
/newroot/vmlinuz) to make this new temporary root partition the root of
the filesystem.  But when I try to boot from it,  I get messages saying
things like "can't find _sumtp file" and on login,  it takes a username, 
and says the same thing,  dumping me back off with 
login:
,  never even _asking_ for a passwd.

						Any Clues?
