I copy / /usr and /LOCAL to the new machine, edit several files in /etc rebuilt the kernel and reinstall grub:0. Furthermore I have adapted the fstab file in the initramfs. On the very first boot the cloned system fails to mount all file systems even /dev/pts which is a bit problematic when doing all this from remote. I get PTY allocation request failed on channel 0 Luckily I still can use the console on the remote system although I don't get a prompt. Just doing mount -a and rebooting seems to fix the problem. Still, I'm interested what's going there? Many thanks for a hint, Helmut.
