If you've ever been in the situation where you are doing a full upgrade of the disks in a server, you'll face the problem of getting the data from one set of disks to the other, without wanting to reinstall from scratch.
Here's how I'd do it:

+* Reinstall your bootloader. if you are in the chroot as described above. Note that <new boot device> is just that! if you are booting off a SCSI RAID array, it'll possibly be /dev/md0. If it's an IDE disk that will eventually be on /dev/hda but is currently on /dev/hde, try /dev/hde - but I can't guarantee that'll work. You might want to make a bootdisk so you can boot off that when you yank the old disks.
lilo -b <new boot device>
** If you aren't in the chroot, specify the config file
