You're asking the wrong question.  The correct question is how to fix 
your /fstab so that all partitions mount correctly based on UUID's and 
break obsolete dependence on /dev/sd?

Remember that drive ordering can change from day to day, (or depending 
on what the boot order of devices was used) what is /dev/sda one day can 
be /dev/sdb the next.


If you must use a static dev device to refer to a drive/partition, you 
would be best serve to use /dev/disk/by-id, but i can't immagine 
everyday use for that.

If you are having trouble with this, the output of the following 
commands can help.

mount
sudo blkid
cat /etc/fstab
ls /dev/disk/by-id -lh
