I installed arch to my external hard drive which works fine.
The grub config point points root at /dev/sda1 and this is also in fstab to tell it to mount /dev/sda1 to /.
The problem is that when my pen drive is installed the external harddrive becomes sdb and i have to edit both these file to get a proper boot.
The same problem occurs when a pc has a sata hd - these are referred to as sda, sdb rather than hda, hdb.
How can i compensate for this so i dont have to edit grub & fstab everytime?
Ckearly distros than run off pendrives or even live cds can deal with these issues, does anyone have an idea how?
