If you mount root on /a, take a look at /a/etc/vfstab and check that the devices to be mounted for / and /usr are correct for this hardware. If not, carefully edit the file to point to the right device(s).

If not, it's quite possible that you need to recreate the root filesystem device node. Also, it's possible that because root did not umount cleanly it now needs to be fsck'd before it will mount. I suggest that you:

Code:
# cd /

to place you on the DVD before you attempt to umount /a or /mnt.

You can boot from DVD and see if you can mount the hard disk root filesystem on /a without it complaining.
Its the same model with same drive size, though I do know from a previous cloning effort that the video card is different. I haven't put the second drive in.

I created a swap partition, though I believe it is still unformatted. The size is identical to the production system.

Swap space doesn't need formatting. You do not create a filesystem on a swap slice. Provided it is designated as swap (in the VTOC) that will do.

It will probably automatically cope with a different video adapter and load the correct driver at boot time.
