Whenever I do a move or copy with mine, it's
mount newdrive as /mnt/target
cd /
find . -xdev | cpio -pm /mnt/target
(if needed, ie, you're just moving eveything from hda to hdb, not
physically replacing the drive, then edit /mnt/target/etc/fstab and
/mnt/target/etc/lilo.conf
lilo -r /mnt/target
The 3 (sometimes 4) step way to move your system to another drive
