Hi Noam, You have 2 options which you can use (and you can use them either manually or through /etc/fstab)
1. You can label the partitions and mount them using the labels (or manually using mount -L) or 2. You can use the mount with UUID (mount -U). See: http://linux.die.net/man/8/mount As for the switch, I think (not sure though) this happens when a device is recognized, the system assign /dev/ node for it, so you can bypass it by playing with the /etc/udev stuff, although the easiest way to solve this issue IMHO would be like I wrote above.
