When I tried it, I used cp with the --preserve=all option.  However, I
didn't copy dynamically generated locations (like /dev/ or /proc/).  I
just made empty directories on the destination, for the system to
populate when it booted.  The only problem I recall was forgetting to
set the sticky bit on the new /tmp/ directory.  I don't recall having
problems copying "symlinks", either.  They seemed to be copied over as
new links.
