Thanks Maya - really helpful steer. But it turned out that the real problem was that etc/fstab on the new disk referred everything to /dev/wd0 rather than /dev/wd2, and the layout of the two disks is different. Elementary, really, but easily overlooked (epecially when your fighting off bombardment from .cn and .ru).
/etc/gettytab needed :sp#9600: adding to the Pc entry, and /etc/ttys needed constty to be edited out.
