Do you have 'usb-storage' in your initrd? If so: you need that only to
boot from usb-attached stuff, i.e. as long as you don't have
root= in your menu.lst for that kernel/initrd,
through out usb-storage from that initrd. No usb-storage, no /dev/sd*.
So, as you need the driver (ahci, sata_*) in your initrd to boot, the
devices on the controller with that driver should reliably get
/dev/sda to /dev/sd[whatever].
