Seems like I'll have a handful of good SCSI drives available soon, so
I'm thinking of converting my home machine to SCSI.

The problem is that it's got a bunch of custom-compiled stuff on it, so
I'd really like to migrate the same system rather than install from scratch.

I'm thinking of installing the scsi drives, setting up RAID, then doing
cp -ax /* /scsi/ , cp -ax /usr/* /scsi/usr , and so on.

then edit lilo.conf, rerun lilo, and reboot...

Any comments, suggestions, etc?
