Moving / mountpoint

I want to move all data currently on the / mountpoint to another disk
and then remove the old data. (i just bought a faster disk)
Is this a simple matter of putting the new disk in. Mounting it
somewhere. Copying data to the new drive. Altering fstab to point / to
/dev/hdc2 (for example) then rebooting? Is there anything else i need
to consider?

/boot is mounted on another partition on the slow first disk and will
be staying. What changes will be needed to grub.conf. At the moment i
have "root=LABEL=/". What does this need to be changed to?
"root=/dev/hdc2=/"?

Thanks for your help,
Garry
