gentoo.  same as dom0. I used the instructions in the documentation to 
make a clone of the base system on the lvm partition.

just a little bit more information when I actually have the root = 
/dev/sda1 in place, the failure is:

VFS: Cannot open root device "sda1" or unknown-block(8,1)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 
unknown-block(8,1)

I am assuming that since root is a command line option for a kernel 
invocation, that the path it refers to is from the perspective of inside 
the kernel which means the disk translation is in place.
