moving hard drive to new machine : can't get past grub

[P. George]

maybe the first thing to focus on is the GRUB setup from the previous 
installation:

root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.7-10 ro root=/dev/hdc2
initrd /initrd-2.4.7-10.img


i can't remember how i had the other machine setup.  it's been a while. 
  but as for the new setup, i have the hard drive on the primary bus and 
set to master/single.  ALL other peripherals are removed to make sure i 
can bootup first.  once i get that working, i'll start adding drivers 
for everything else.  so, right now it's just a motherboard, cpu, power 
supply, video card, and hard drive.  nothing else.

should i change "hdc2" to something else?  if so, what?

thanks.
