UUID question

Folks,
I have two partitions that have UUIDs assigned that were assigned during
the upgrade to edgy, /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda5, the first is mounted as /
and the second one as swap. The names have changed due to the SCSI
controller being assigned /dev/sda since sudo fdisk -l shows them as
/dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdb5.
I also have three others that do not, /dev/hdd, /dev/sdc1 and
/dev/sdc2, these are mounted as /media/cdrom, /home and /archive
respectively.
It appears that my scsi cdrom /dev/scd1 is not included in /etc/fstab,
however, the other cdrom is included as /dev/hdd with a mount point of
/media/cdrom0.
My question is are the UUIDs required or can I change them back to the
"old fashioned" names (/dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdb5) that I have used for
years with Linux and various other UNIX systems? Can I safely create an
entry in /etc/fstab for the SCSI CDROM?
Cheers,
Jay
