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

      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
can, take backups for safety before moving.
