This is why you should not use the /dev/[hs]d* names and use something
more static like the /dev/disk/by-{uu,}id paths.  They will remain
static no matter where your drive is.  If you took it out of the machine
and put into a USB enclosure you should still see it at the same path.

Really.  It is.  Or use the:

UUID=12b8250a-d031-4ee1-b486-5e67478d06b4 /boot ext3 defaults 0 2

nomenclature in /etc/fstab.
