I have created copies of my original system, and mounted them in approriate
relative positions under /mnt (/mnt/var /mnt/usr, etc).

This makes my 'new IPL device'  address b213 - which is mounted as dasdg1

in /mnt/boot I have the original parm file.  Yast, of course moved my swap
device to dasda.. Anyway....

rockhopper:/mnt/boot # more parmfile
dasd=a240,b217,b219,b21a,b218,a241 root=/dev/dasdb1 noinitrd
rockhopper:/mnt/boot #

I know to change all the device numbers to their corresponding deviuces,
but root= parameter?do I leave it as /dev/dasdb1 and run zipl, or do I
change it to /dev/dasdg1 for the running of zipl. I just wanna make sure
the boot record goes to the right place.

Something tells me I chould chroot /mnt before I do this but I'm not sure.
