Using parted, you'll need to invoke 'toggle 1 bios_grub'. parted(8) doesn't mention this subcommand, but it works just fine in wheezy. Names of partitions are arbitrary.

Mount new root into, say /mnt. Mount new boot into /mnt/boot. Bind-mount /proc, /dev and /sys into /mnt/proc (/mnt/dev and /mnt/sys). Chroot into /mnt. Invoke 'update-initramfs -k all -u'. Exit chroot, unmount everything. Poweroff, remove unneeded disks, poweron. That's the procedure I've used for this.
