Been there; done that :-)

That would work to get the machine booted, as would using the UUIDs. But
I really want my system disk to be sda so the /dev filesystem will work
as expected with tools like dd. (I almost scribbled all over the wrong
disk once because of this.)

Time was that sd<n> meant SCSI disk as numbered by addresses on the SCSI
bus, and hd<n> was selectable by controller / master / slave, and the
USB stuff was off over there. I realize there's a significant problem
with major / minor numbers and the size of /dev, but I'm not completely
happy with the kernel folks' solution -- it breaks too much stuff...
