It is great to see a relatively new user doing things "the right way" :-)

AFAIK there are only two really important items (which you have probably 
already fixed as the system boots now):
- /etc/fstab
- bootloader configuration, probably /boot/grub/menu.lst
  (or, if you use lilo instead of grub: /etc/lilo.conf; don't forget to
  run lilo after any changes)
