This is the way I would do it:
           1 - Dupilcate the disk
           2 - Move the cables for the new drive to the first IDE port - hda
           3 - Reboot using my CDROM distro or emergency floppy
           4 - mount /hda
           5 - run lilo

This way you don't need to bother with any editing.
