hi ya OP
if you are doing your magic on /dev/hde and want to make it
a bootable device as /dev/hda on another PC
- let's assume you have /dev/hda ( hd0 ) and your clone /dev/hde ( hd1 )
- note and understand the grub terminology
- also "cat /boot/grub/device.map"
- what are your two disks called /dev/hdxx vs hd#
- if you booted off /dev/hda on your current pc and your other pc will
be booting of the new /dev/hda ( currently called /dev/hde ), all you
need to do ... after you do all your magic about "cloning"
dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hde bs=446 count=1
sync
power off - move the disk -- power on -- cross your fingers
- ie.. don't bother with grub-install and all that ..
- you already have a good MBR and a good /boot/grub/device.map
-- you will have to edit /boot/grub/device.map if the number of
disks is different on both PCs
- different numbers of fd, cd, dvd, disks, scsi, usb-stick ..
- you will need to figure out what your original /dev/hde
is called on your new pc ( hd0, or hd1, or hd2, .. )
- if you like to do thigns the hard way
grub> root (hd0,0)
grub> kernel vmlinuz... ( whatever your kernel is called )
grub> setup (hd0)
grub> boot
add initrd=initrd.gz before setup if your (broken)kernel needs some help
-- see the various gazillion grub-howto's
