Hello,
Why do you need to do this? It shouldn't matter,
should it? You can boot off of any drive just the
same, regardless of the letter. If you have a device
attached to hde, the bios will automatically make it
"c" and bootable. Better yet, with the latest SuSE,
it will boot from anything.
Now, if you really need to swap boot devices, there is
a kernel option to do so, that is not enabled by
default. It will rearrange the hdx's, but you're
probably on your own, as there probably aren't that
many people who use it anymore.
Your email is a little confusing, though. Are you
maybe just trying to swap drives and need to know how
to boot the new configuration? That's a different
story.

I'm trying to install SuSE on a new computer that has 2 ide hard drives and 1 Promise Ultra66 drive.
The thing that I am trying to accomplish is having the ultra66 drive be /dev/hda. Currently it is /dev/hde. With the ide cables, I can physicallyange the order the block devices are assigned.
Is there a way to set the kernel to change the device order on boot-up?
Can't you go to your BIOS and select the "boot up" hard-drive? IIRC, I did this once... maybe not?!
