My system is part IDE and part SCSI. The IDE part is mounted on / and the SCSI parts are mounted on /usr /var as well as holding the swap space. I have a 'root' partition on the SCSI that is dormant and empty until I get a SCSI bootable motherboard. I have this partition mounted on /mnt. I have the 3.0-RELEASE source in /usr/src. I have been thinking of upgrading to a new motherboard that can boot SCSI. I do not need to install /usr/src/usr.bin or /usr/src/usr.sbin. Those are already on my SCSI drive. How can I install only the '/' stuff and not the '/usr' to '/mnt' (the scsi) from source? Would it be better to just 'cp -R' the needed parts from my existing '/' to '/mnt'.
