Thanks, that was my plan. I figured the OS would probably throw a 
spastic about which of the two /boot partitions to use.

I'm going to copy everything over. Power down, unplug the old drive, 
power up, load rescue, label the new partitions to the old ones, then 
reboot and see what happens.

If it all goes pear shaped I can always fall back on the old disk (until 
I can fix it).
