mounting an old advfs on a different Hard Drive?

I am running 3.2D on my old system and disk, and I would like to keep it
active until everything (almost at least) is working on my new (to me)
4.0D system and disk. Objective: I have /usr on the old as well as the new
system under advfs. While the old system is active, I would like to mount
the new file system and do file transferring from the old system to the
new one until everything is on the new system disk. The old system (3.2D)
resides on rz0 and the new system (4.0D) is on rz3. I am using advfs for
all of the new computer and for the /usr and /var on the old system.
QUESTION::? How do I link the new advfs files so that I can copy the
necessary old system and user files, etc. to the new system files while
using the old 3.2D so that email, etc. works in the meantime? remember I
have usr_domain#usr mounted on /usr on both systems on different hard
drives?

I could not find any information in "man mount" concerning mounting advfs
partitions from one advfs disk to another advfs disk.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.
