I know this is insane, and will probably make my computer explode, however, is there any way to rescan the IDE bus? I have in the past booted a system to upgrade, taken it single user, mounted all filesystems readonly, then chrooted a bash to a nfs server, pulled the old hard disk, put in the new one, dd'd a pre-written filesystem onto the new disk, (with linear set in it's lilo) rebooted, refdisked to get the first partition ending in a sane place, then rebooted again, and continued installing. It was a laptop, and it would have been really annoying to make a PCMCIA supporting bootdisk, with NFS, and network drivers. So, is it possible to skip the reboot?
