Hi,

Are you trying cloning via mksysb or disk clone? either way it will work.

Make changes to bosinst.data "RECOVER_DEVICES = no" then take mksysb without an i option. But don't forget to insert the os cd in the cdrom, it will copy drivers for new hardware form the os cd.
Hope this will help you.

Regards,

VJM
