I remember that cp ask to *replace* a file, not to "put the source file
at the beginning of the target file". Did you really verified that your
partition was really modified ? I would be very surprised of this
attitude from cp...

In that case,

# rm /dev/hdb7 &&
# mknod /dev/hdb7 b 3 71

should work on a non-devfs system, and

# rm /dev/hdb7 &&
# ln -s ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part7 /dev/hdb7

should work on a devfs system.
