Following up on my own post:
It's almost there. My thanks to the two who passed on good advice on
transferring the system directories to new partitions. Everything looks
very good. Unfortunately I get a kernel panic on boot, viz.
VFS: Cannot open root device 00:00
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 00:00
I ran rdev on the kernel for the new root device and updated and
double-checked the info in the fstab and mtab files and the loadlin boot
file. All of that seems exactly correct.
My guess is that "00:00" is a key to It's almost there. My thanks to

My guess is that "00:00" is a key to the problem, but I can't decipher
it. Can anyone interpret this?
Thanks.
