And another way to get round this is to mount /boot or other static
filesystems by filesystem label:

~  mke2fs -j -L SOMEFILESYS /dev/dasd...

in fstab:

~  LABEL=SOMEFILESYS     /somefilesys      ext3   ...

I do this on my distributed platforms which have SAN, and may change
disk order when SAN disk is added or removed.
