[Techtalk] First time upgrading hard drive

[Dennis Wheeler]

Hello, I tried to follow the howtos on upgrading a hard drive, but I
must have missed a step somewhere, because the new drive won't boot.

I merely get a blank screen with a blinking cursor -- no post info

I installed the new drive (hdd)
fdisk (created 4 partitions)
1 /boot 100m  (made it bootable)
2 /swap 250m  (changed to hex 82)
3 / 50g
4 /usr/local/private 100g 

mkfs.ext3 /dev/hdd1 (and 3 and 4)
mkswap -f /dev/hdd2

cp -a (all the files)

Modified /new-disk/etc/fstab for the additional partitions (that weren't
on the original smaller disk)

What am I missing?

Uh oh, I see it -- ignore everything above -- I missed the lilo step --
and on top of that, I have grub

Now I'm lost -- what do I do next?
