Hello,
So looking at the handbook, I was wondering
why it does not describe how to use Disk Labels
during the installation process. Dunno.
So I poised this question on gentoo-doc
and got this encouraging response from *JOSH*

Given that some folks on here have ran into USB drives changing the
order of partitions, I think this is a good idea. If needed, they could
at least introduce the subject then have it link to another page. Even
if it is the simplest label of using boot, root and such labels and
maybe a mention that there are other ways to accomplish the same thing.
I ran into this issue a while back when I added a hard drive and it was
not easy to work with. When I boot a CD/DVD, it sees them as hd*
instead of sd* so that didn't help since the OS kernel sees them as sd*.
It may be uphill to get this included or at least linked to something
else explaining it but I think it is a good idea. I also added myself
to the bug as well. I saw the post on -doc.
