Feel free, but do be aware that, in general SCSI is more efficient and faster
than IDE. You may be doing a lot of work with the wrong analysis.

You can simply install the controller/drive(s), create the partitions,
format and then do a tar or cpio. (NB: Check the 'Net; on older Unix
boxen, tar had problems with devices. I have every expectation that you
won't under Linux.) Then boot from the new drive/partition. This may
be the least "expensive" in terms of time and effort.
