    Still trying to figure out when that change went into effect and whom,
exactly, thought it was a good idea.  I mean the traditional method is
that the position in the chain determines the letter and the partition
determines the number.  I certainly would hope that sda5 doesn't
suddenly come up as sda2 nor that somehow the 2nd drive in the chain
(sdb) somehow swaps with the first drive in the chain (sda) without some
external force physically moving it.  However, if that physical force...
ME.... moves it then I bloody well know why it is not sda instead of
sdb.  :P
