Short version - you need to fix all the config files on the
drive to point to /dev/hd*b* instead of /dev/hd*a*. Usually,
thats Lilo (/etc/lilo.conf) and mount points (/etc/fstab)

Long version - insert a bootable distribution disk in your
(new) machine and boot from it, using recover mode.

Edit /etc/lilo.conf to match your new system config.

Rename the boot.* files in /boot to something else so that
lilo will back up your new boot sector, and run lilo ('lilo').

Edit /etc/fstab to match your new system config.

Reboot.

If I have not missed anything, you should be up and running.

Oh, probably, but I don't know them off hand ;-)
