Re: moving root (/) to new drive...

I'm clearly missing a step here, any help would be appreciated...

copy drive to new partition, edit /etc/fstab.

Once I copy drive contents to a new partition, I am unable to get a clean
boot using the new partition as root even when booting from the install cd
in rescue mode.
Apparently there is somewhere else that the debian kernel keeps track of
the root device...
I have not had these types of problems using other distributions.

Any recommendations????

Thanks,

You have to edit /etc/lio.conf when changing the location of the root 
device.
Save and close the file and run 'lilo -v'.

When you reboot now, you should be booting from the new root-partition.
