Edit /boot/grub/grub.conf to change the "root (hd0,0)" line to point

Yes and no. The mount points will move with the filesystems as you
migrate. Check /etc/fstab to
ensure that the volumes are mounted via UUID. Check the volume UUIDs
with the blkid command
to see if they changed.

should be relatively straighforward once the moving is done. If you
