He can copy the /boot data to another drive, not necessarily
with dd.  In fact, if he wants to be able to remove the
existing IDE drive, he must.  But he cannot copy it to an
LVM2 logical volume.  The data in /boot (after copying)
must be on a partition on a physical disk which is accessible
via the BIOS and not on the old IDE drive which he wishes
to remove.  The / filesystem can be an LVM2 logical volume,
provided the initial RAM filesystem contains sufficient files
to mount an LVM2 logical volume, but the filesystem which
gets mounted on /boot must be made on a partition of a *real*
disk which is not scheduled to be removed from the system.
