Be precise. After copying the data, I would boot the Debian installation
disk, go to second console, mount the new root on /mnt, "chroot /mnt".
Then edit fstab (insert new device names), edit lilo.conf (insert new
partitions), run lilo once. Then "exit", "umount /mnt" and "reboot".

Gruss/Regards,
Eduard.
