It's pretty straight forward, just keep the number correct.  The actual 
references to the filesystems (/dev/hda1) will be the same, but remember:

root (hd0,7)  is /dev/hda8
root (hd1,1)  is /dev/hdb2

Make sure you get the kernel names right as some use variations.  Also, 
some use different references to the initrd image:

SuSE:		initrd (hd0,1)/boot/initrd
Mandrake:	initrd (hd0,1)/boot/initrd.img
