openSUSE 12.3 GRUB2 clone system

$

I have an openSUSE 12.3 system that I am wanting to clone with Ghost. In the past I would change the menu.lst file to reference /dev/sda2 as the root partition and /dev/sda1 was swap. With openSUSE and GRUB2 it doesn't look like that is the case. I've read some threads on this forum and Google and thought I had it all figured out. I change my partitions in Yast2 for /etc/fstab to be by device name and when I look in /etc/fstab I see the entries. I then shot over to Boot Loader and see that GRUB2 is being used and I click on Boot Loader Options. I changed the optional kernel command line parameter to match the /dev/sda2 for resume=. I changed the boot loader installation details to /dev/sda instead of /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_blah_blah. I tried changing the UUID references in /boot/grub2/grub.cfg from UUID=a1blahblah-blah-blah to /dev/sda2.

I cannot figure out how to clone this disk. Whatever I try I can only get the machine which I drop the image down on to boot the GRUB _ and the _ is flashing.

How or what do I need to do in order to clone this machine so I can drop this image down on another like hardware system?
