I will look at it again. I don't want to copy or upgrade though. I want to
take a disk that is now mounted as HDF and mount it HDA. I assume I need
to make a boot floppy saying that my root - now /dev/hdf7 is /dev/hda7 and
then change fstab for all the partitions. But I am not sure of the order.
I can't change fstab or the system won't umount right? Do I need to boot
the root as hdfa, mount it RW and then change all hdf's to hda's in fstab.
Is there an automated way to do this. Using SuSe 7.3
