Vic, The SuSEconfig step did the trick. I had to ddr the LVM volumes to tape and restore from the tapes, but now I am able to boot the instance.
Thanks to all for the help and for pointing me in the right direction to get this job accomplished! Loren Charnley, Jr. IT Systems Engineer Family Dollar Stores, Inc.

In those early releases, changes to /etc/rc.config don't take effect until after you run "SuSEconfig". I think that SuSEconfig also manages /etc/hosts (but maybe that's just on later releases), so I'd suggest making what changes need to be made in /etc/rc.config, run SuSEconfig, and see what else needs to change. Make sure that *somewhere* you update your default gateway address. I think that's elsewhere in /etc/rc.config, but might be in /etc/ route.conf. You can use the mount-the-copied-disks-to-a-running-system method, but you will need to mount all the copied system's disks -- at the right mount points -- and chroot into the copied system in order to run SuSEconfig. Example: mount /dev/dasdk1 /mnt/copy mount /dev/dasdl1 /mnt/copy/usr mount /dev/dasdm1 /mnt/copy/var chroot /mnt/copy # <-- all file accesses are now from the copied system's disks vi /etc/rc.config SuSEconfig exit # <-- return to your running system umount /mnt/copy/usr /mnt/copy/var /mnt/copy Replace the DASD names with the actual names you get on your system, of course, and don't forget to detach the disks from your running system when you're done.
