Hard disk Partitions

Hello all,

Heres whats going on.  I formated one partion with the HFS file system.
Then using the xhfs utility, I copied over all the files and directories
from the Mac OS disk to the new partition.  When I start MOL, something is
missing and it won't boot.

Are there hidden/system files that need to be copied that xhfs might have
missed?

Naw, I've finished up a PPC motherboard design for my company that is
currently running YDL fairly well.  The way it boots right now it needs the
dos partition.  Just trying to see what all I can get working now so that
the marketing guys have an easier time selling it.  So far it's holding its
own...
