I've encountered the same problem as Graeme when I clone my master SLES10 instance on the same machine. The /etc/fstab file is no where to be found because it can't mount the root partition. I'm still trying to work through the resolution myself.
My old clone script worked flawlessly when cloning SLES9 guests, but now I guess things have changed and I need to re-think how to accomplish the same task.

Any ideas ? Since you're being dropped into a shell, see what the current disk names are, and use sed or ed to update /etc/fstab. More than likely you won't have to re-run zipl, unless the device numbers of the disks also changed.
