No it won't work. You are perfecly right with the problems in dev and the
boot sector. What you have to do is use the dd command to make a physical
copy of your whole device. The trick is I don't know the syntax :-)
It must ressemble "dd if=/dev/hdx of=/dev/hdy ... options" where /dev/hdx
is the drive you want to copy and /dev/hdy is the one you copy to. I know
you have to specify more things to dd (block sizes,...) but you'll have to
use man dd as I'm now at work (on an NT station :-( )
Ask help if you don't know some options...
