Afterwards, activate your swap partition by:
swapon /dev/h???
5th. Now mount the partitions exactly like they should be later
on in the system, but in /mnt. Assuming you have the following
divisions:
/dev/sdb1 /
/dev/sdb2 /usr
/dev/sdb5 /home
Mount as follows:
mount -text2 /dev/sdb1 /mnt
mkdir /mnt/usr
mount -text2 /dev/sdb2 /mnt/usr
mkdir /mnt/home
mount -text2 /dev/sdb5 /mnt/home
6th. Now pack again the system on the hard disk (of course, the
ftape modul must be loaded) by
tar xvNCf /mnt /dev/rft0
7th. If the hard disk goes additionally in the system, you must
still change a couple of files (the devicenames have already changed).
I come espontaneously with /etc/fstab and /etc/lilo.conf. You have an
editor in /mnt/usr/bin.
8th. Now boot the computer and give to the kernel the root partition
by (root=/dev/sdb1).
9th. If you use LILO to boot and your /etc/lilo.conf is o.k.,
you only need to call "lilo" and the change is done ;-)
Additionally for SCSI:
1st. Generate and test kernel with SCSI support(!)
2nd. Boot from disk with this kernel and pass "ramdisk=1440", load
the root disk as ramdisk and from here on goes as described above.
