  You'll need to do some conversion for the device names in the
 image are different.

  e.g /etc/fstab on a UML host will use /dev/ubd/0 for the first
 disk, rather than /dev/{hda sda}.

  I don't have a list to hand, but it should be just a case of
 trial an error to update things like the fstab file, /etc/inittab,
 etc.
