wait, what? his root disk isn't plugged into the pci-ide controller?

There's a simpler Linux way of doing this which I use on my Linux
systems: mounting by the UUID in the filesystem's superblock. But I
think RedHat is using LVM2 to do it.
Anyway modern Linux systems don't put names like /dev/sda in
/etc/fstab, and they don't use these names to find the root filesystem
either---they have all that LVM2 stuff in the early userspace.
Solaris seems to be going the same ``mount by label'' direction with
ZFS (except with zpool.cache, devid's, and mpxio, it's a bit of a
hybrid approach---when it goes out searching for labels, and when it
expects devices to be on the same bus/controller/channel, isn't
something I fully understand yet and I expect will only become clear
through experience).
