Restore master db to new server with different drive paths

I am trying to restore a a system to another server with different paths. I can restore the master db ok but when itry to start it up using sqlservr -c -m etc i get a device activation error on the model db because it is still looking to the old path. is
there any way around this.
If not what are the implications of keeping the base installed master db on the new server and attaching all the other databases.
Thanks
