I would recommend creating a new file system on the destination drive. |
| 23 |
The do a rsync -axH src dst |
| 24 |
Then install grub on the master boot sector on the destination drive |
| 25 |
as specified in the gentoo installation manual. |
| 26 |
|

I have had problems with dd ghosting in the past but rsync has worked |
| 28 |
flawlessly so far. |
