I've done this many times in the past. If you pass rsync the "-x" flag
it won't traverse mounted filesystems, so rsync won't clone /sys or
/proc (though it will clone the mount point itself). Also you will need
to pass the "-H" flag to recreate hard links.
After rsyncing to a new file system you will have to install grub and
write the boot loader, which can be a bit difficult. I can't remember
the exact procedure, but I'm sure google can help with this.
