Florian, Why do you want to make a new root? Typically the root should not change. Only links or symbols.
I do not put directories into my root. Only links or symbols. If you are doing this, what is the purpose? Will you IPL once you get a new root built? Is this for a new sysres? IIRC - once the system is IPL'd you cannot activate a new ROOT. You could create a /SERVICE/ root on a different volume and then IPL that new volume with the new root. You want to keep the root and RO not RW. If you already have an /etc in the root and you wish to add files, then you mount your files into the /etc directory.
