Just to try clarify what I mean here.
If memory serves me correctly, there is a really small (unseen when loaded) partition created when installing that makes MorphOS boot (maybe it points at the boot.img file on the main partition?).
Obviously, if using a new HDD, this partition would not exist.
So, you'd need to run a full install to create it & install the required files.
BUT, then replace all created files on the "MorphOS" partition with back up files, hopefully resulting in a "clone" of old settings, etc.
Am I correct?
PZ.
You don't need to run a full install, but it may be handy to boot up MorphOS from CD and use the hd toolbox to partitition your hdd.
In case of a Mac you need a (small, say 60 MB) partitition with the filesystem hfs and put in the boot.img there. Then you need at least one other partitition where you can put your other files.
On efika you don't need a dedicated partitition for the boot.img, since the OF can handle sfs partititions.
Top restore you installation on Efika you are able to boot off directly from the usb stick that holds your backup. Once booted up just copy all files over to the new hdd - done.
On Mac I think you need a CD containing at least the the boot.img from which you boot off (AFAIK the firmware of the Mac does not init the usb mass storage devices). But if you load the boot.img from CD you can pass the usb drive containing your update files as boot parameter and boot the actual system from usb.
Just copy boot.img to the hfs paritition and the rest of your backup to your according partititions.
