Yep.

I restored everything to /dev/sdb, then edited its fstab - changing the
uuid of the boot partition, and the name of the logical volume used to
mount the other partitions.

It seems odd to me that I'm having such a hard time finding this
information.

I mean, what do people do when they lose their boot/root drive?  They
boot some sort of temporary OS, stick in a bare drive, partition and
format, copy in the data from their backups, and then configure it to
boot.

In Ubuntu, this means configuring grub - on the new drive to boot from
the new drive.

It should be simple.
