[Put the new drive in the old system, boot old drive]
fdisk /dev/hdfoo
mke2fs -j /dev/hdfoo1
mkswap /dev/hdfoo2
mount -t ext3 /dev/hdfoo1 /mnt
cp -avx / /mnt 
grub-install /dev/hdfoo
umount /mnt
[Shutdown, move drive back to new system]
[Boot]
[Enjoy]

(So what did I originally change on the old system's settings? Beats me -
that was a long time ago. :)
