Write udev rules to create persistent device names.
An example from my /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules file:
BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="sd[a-z]2", SYSFS{serial}=="300000005AF6",
SYMLINK="%k", NAME="backups%e"

You could also use filesystem labels in /etc/fstab. Instead of
/dev/sdX, use LABEL=mylabel as the device name. You can set
filesystem labels on any current filesystem. For example with ext3,
you use e2label.
With this, you don't need to mess with udev rules.
