Moving arch between disks

Writing this down for sanitys sake - I just spent a few hours fucking around cause I fucked around instead of following a guide...

  1. Copy partitions with gparted to the new disk, update their UUIDs
  2. Mount /sys, /proc, /run, /dev as --bind
  3. Mount the new disks and arch-chroot into them
  4. Update /etc/fstab to new disk UUIDs
  5. Wipe /boot cause ur an idiot
  6. Reinstall grub sudo grub-install
  7. Copy the kernel cp /usr/lib/modules/<kernel> vmlinuz-linux
  8. Run mkinitcpio
  9. sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
  10. sudo reboot
