So this would be the best solution to move a 3.12 SYS volume to new physical 
drive preserving all bindery and trustee information:
Back up SYS to tape (twice) using a backup program that saves trustee 
information.
Down server, power off, add new disk, boot to DOS only and create 
DOS-partition for booting and non-DOS partition for new SYS volume on the new 
disk. Format /s new DOS-partition, and copy DOS files to new DOS partition.
Down server, power off and swap SCSI ID's of old SYS volume and new disk.
Boot to DOS, verify that you have booted to the new disk and bring up server. 
Load Install and create NEWSYS volume on new disk. Restore from tape SYS 
volume  to NEWSYS volume. Make sure that INSTALL.NLM is in c:\server.312, 
down server, run server -na, load Install rename SYS volume OLDSYS and NEWSYS 
volume to SYS, down server, bring server back up.
