[SLUG] Moving OpenSuse 10.2 from virtual to physical machine.

I have a OpenSuse 10.2 system that took me a long time to get everything
working the way I want. I want to take this OS build that is on a VMware
virtual machine and put it on physical hardware.

The hardware going to use is Athlon 64 3400 on an Asus with ATI Radeon
Xpress 200 northbridge. I have already done a test install of opensuse
10.2 and all is great.

I'm looking for some ideas on the best way to approach this.
I could maybe...
1. Image the virtual disks and dump the image on the new disks.
2. Build Suse on the new hardware, create some sort of system backup of
the VM and restore

Any good ideas? #1 seems the easiest to me. What all would I have to
do? I'm guessing fix fstab, initrd modules, or can I just boot off the
installation dvd and do a repair\update?

Thanks
