I forgot to mention an important point when using a rescue disk.
Most will mount all the runtime directories like /sys, /dev, /proc,
etc. onto the HD file system. Those directories should not be
mounted the when you make the HD root FS copy.
Either choose the rescue option to not mount the HD file system,
and mount it yourself later, or unmount all those directories.
Just use the 'mount' command to see what has been mounted on the
HD's root FS.
