then label the partitions, and mount those filesystems
by label instead of device name.

I used to be a mount-by-device name only kind of
guy.... when my system was exclusively SCSI, and I
could control their device name by setting their
SCSI ID numbers, regardless of where they were
physically connected.

But once I put a couple of IDE drives in...I
found them just too much of a pain in the neck
to keep track of what disk was plugged in where
on those occasions when I disconnected their
ribbon cables...

On my laptop, the partition labels are like this:

root_suse10_1
_usr
_opt
_home
_local
_tmp
_windows_c

Since the labels indicte the mount point,
confusion is nearly impossible.
