You don't. The root partition is not to be moved. What you CAN do, is 
move /usr/ or /usr/local/ off of the / partition and onto their own 
partition (possibly on the new disk). However, as far as I know, this 
cannot be done without a reinstall. Anyone know of a way to do this 
without blowing everything away and doing it again?
