Things have been going slow for me since I started classes, so sorry for the
sparse updates.

I never did figure out why restoring the mbr and partitions separately
produced an unbootable system, and it's something I'll need to eventually
solve.

However, for now I've taken a step back and just focused on getting entire
drives cloned with dd.  Now instead of copying each partition separately, I
just copy all of /dev/sda (or whatever is configured) to file.

The attached base.cfg kickstart file is attached.  I just finished testing
it.  It's slow, takes up a lot of space, but it works.  I took an image of a
machine, and restored it to another machine with identical hardware.

Next step is to get the partition by partition copying working, which is
what I was trying to do before.  I'll do some tests to try to figure out
what I was missing with my previous approach.
