On second thought, that's a really bad man page... Google for cpio
examples. Here's one off the top of my head - in other words check it out
before trusting me. ;)
Mount the second hard drive in the same machine as the disk you want to
copy. fdsk / format the partitions as desired.
Then for each partition, cd to the old disk partition directory and run this:
# find . -xdev -print | cpio -pudv /mnt/{destination}
Be sure to substitute the correct destination(s) on the new disk.
If you want to make the new disk the primary boot disk, you'll need
to swap it on the controller, then boot from a rescue floppy or CD
and run lilo (or grub).
HTH!
