I just rolled my MegCorp lump sum back in January and Vanguard actually recommended the roll to Money Market then to the funds I wanted after the dust settled. Just as "Easy" said, just setup roll over account and inform current holder where to roll it.

Because of fairly heavy small cap and emerging market funds I hold outside of VG I did
Vanguard Developed Markets Index Fund
Vanguard Total Bond Market Index Fund Admiral Shares
Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund Admiral Shares
