Thanks, this saved me some time and embarrassment too. The one point I would add to the FAQ is that you can follow the steps even after you've logged in to your new Mac for the first time, i.e. not only at the very first screen message which limits your transfer connections to Firewire and/or assumes your old machine is working.
So in my case, with my old Mac dead and no FW cable that would connect my external drive (with its SD backup) to the new Mac, I was able to create a temporary account, then use Migration Assistant to transfer everything over a USB cable.
