As far at the partition's bootsector, would that happen to be in

dump operates on filesystems, not disks, so it knows nothing about
partition tables, boot sectors etc.

I kind of thought that. I know it only works on the extended
filesystems. I would have to enter partition data into the 16 byte
entry field of the partition table manually, through fdisk or such. As
far as writing a new BS formatting extX partition of course would take
care of that. Other tweaks to the system would be what's concerning.
Things like UUIDs especially with the root directory would be where I
would get hung. Since I have no other users it would be a little more
simple. IDK if anyone has done or does this so I thought I would ask
for tips. I can scratch around online line for bits and pieces too of
things.
