ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for improving the boot sequence of a computer clone. The kernel within an operating system is designed to always access special devices within the computer's memory using a mount path that is hard coded into the kernel for each of the special devices. When the computer is cloned, the special devices are copied to a second computer without the need for subsequent alteration of the filesystem.
