that sounds... wonderful except... that would put my old grub menu in,
with all the wrong linux kernels...
my current / and /home are on sdb, so it wouldn't affect any  of those
partitions.. right now all I have on that drive are mostly new & empty
partitions, except for /home2 that is a backup of /home.. but that gets
rsynced every night. why do I have to boot from a rescue CD? I am
running on /= /dev/sdb6 and /home =/dev/sdb4 .. I can unmount anything
with /dev/sda*... and mount the old drive USB.. do the dd deed..mmmm
then grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg then grub2-install /dev/sda.
