I've not updated this in years nor for a 2.6 kernel and
grub, but the process is basically unchanged:

The only changes would be to manually make ./proc, ./sys, and
./dev on the target device, to either run a recovery CD or
grub at the command line to get the boot loader right
[remember to edit /boot/grub/grub.conf ], and make sure the
new /etc/fsttab matches your partitioning scheme
