Thanks, Mike, but that didn't work either.  It wanted to take
everything, including all the data from the other mounts, and put it
under /newroot, not just the / contents.

You can try using

cp -dpR /* /newroot

however, considering you're doing this from a live system, I think the expected results qualify as "undefined" :) It'll also complain about attempting to copy /newroot inside itself, but you can ignore that.

If you want to do this the Right Way, boot from a LiveCD and copy between the two partitions.
