   In order to preserve the partition information *you must dd the raw disk*   
      
   dd id=/dev/sda od = /dev/nvme0n1 (or whatever)   
      
   That will create a two partition disk with the UUIDS of the partitions   
   the same as is mentioned in the boot data: If they don't match it wont boot.   
      
   Viz:   
      
      
   df -h | grep ^/dev/   
   /dev/root        15G  1.5G   13G  11% /   
   /dev/mmcblk0p1  255M   51M  205M  20% /boot   
      
   These are the TWO partitions on a bootable PI device   
   In /boot which is DOS style formatted will be instructions on how to   
   boot the main system   
      
   In the main bootable system there will be the fstab file which needs to   
   tally with the partition ids.   
      
   more /etc/fstab:   
      
   proc            /proc           proc    defaults          0       0   
   PARTUUID=b8c9fbb7-01  /boot           vfat    defaults          0       2   
   PARTUUID=b8c9fbb7-02  /               ext4    defaults,noatime  0       1   
      
   In the BOOT partition is this file   
     more *.txt   
   ::::::::::::::   
   cmdline.txt   
   ::::::::::::::   
   console=serial0,115200 console=tty1 root=PARTUUID=b8c9fbb7-02   
   rootfstype=ext4 fs   
   ck.repair=yes rootwait modules-load=dwc2,g_ether   
      
   Unless the bootloader finds that partition ID, it will *not load Linux*   
      
   AIUI the boot sequence is this:   
      
   Look for a DOS style VFAT partition on SD card, then USB, then NVME.   
      
   Look for a file named 'cmdline.txt' parse the root partition ID  and   
   attempt to load a linux image from the boot  partition and have the   
   kernel image mount the aforementioned PARTUUID as root partition.   
      
   If the PARTUUIDs don't match, the boot sequence hangs   
      
   So it is important to have the same PARTUUID in /boot/cmdline.txt, and   
   in /etc/fstab, and in the partition label on the boot partition   
      
   The easy way to do this is not to clone the partitions, but the RAW DISK

   That wont work, but you wont destroy anything by trying.
