Hard disk clone of OpenServer 5.0.0 didn't work, why?
Continuing saga of working on making a retail store more robust by creating a backup clone of the main server, a 1995 era 
PC running SCO OpenServer 5.0.0b and a discontinued Point of Sales (POS) software system.
I have a PC of the same make and model. The CPU runs faster and it has a CD-ROM instead of a tape drive.
I cloned the original hard drive on the clone's hard drive. The cloned hard drive in the original PC starts up and runs fine (yeah!
). And the original hard drive in the original PC starts up and runs.
However, the cloned hard drive in the clone PC DOES NOT BOOT!
Fine, I took the original hard drive and put it in the clone PC and it DOES NOT BOOT EITHER!
In the clone machine all I get is the text "1962" on the monitor. No start up, no boot: prompt.
I found a reference to an error 1962 about invalid master boot record.
Do I need to take a close look at the clone hardware and find any differences?
Any other ideas?

HD(4) Linux Programmer's Manual HD(4) NAME
hd - MFM/IDE hard disk devices DESCRIPTION
The hd* devices are block devices to access MFM/IDE hard disk drives in raw mode. The master drive on the primary IDE controller (major device number 3) is hda; the slave drive is hdb. The master drive of the second controller (major device number 22) is hdc and the slave hdd. General IDE block device names have the form hdX, or hdXP, where X is a letter denoting the physical drive, and P is a number denoting the partition on that physical drive. The first form, hdX, is used to address the whole drive. Partition numbers are assigned in the order the partitions are discovered, and only nonempty, nonextended partitions get a number. However, partition numbers 1-4 are given to the four partitions described in the MBR (the "primary" partitions), regardless of whether they are unused or extended. Thus, the first logi- cal partition will be hdX5. Both DOS-type partitioning and BSD-disklabel partitioning are supported. You can have at most 63 partitions on an IDE disk. For example, /dev/hda refers to all of the first IDE drive in the system; and /dev/hdb3 refers to the third DOS "primary" partition on the second one. They are typically created by: mknod -m 660 /dev/hda b 3 0 mknod -m 660 /dev/hda1 b 3 1 mknod -m 660 /dev/hda2 b 3 2 ... mknod -m 660 /dev/hda8 b 3 8 mknod -m 660 /dev/hdb b 3 64 mknod -m 660 /dev/hdb1 b 3 65 mknod -m 660 /dev/hdb2 b 3 66 ... mknod -m 660 /dev/hdb8 b 3 72 chown root:disk /dev/hd* FILES
