The output of "mount" will tell you where the machine that you moved stuff
to thinks the root is.  If you've moved the registry keys correctly and if
they make sense for the new machine, there shouldn't be any problem 
theoretically.  Still, I haven't tried this myself so there may be other
issues in practice.
