The easiest way is to label the filesystems and edit your /etc/fstab to
use the labels instead of the device names.  Find one of your devices
(assume it's at /dev/sda1):

	# e2label /dev/sda1 bugaboo

Then put a line such as:

LABEL=/bugaboo    /bugaboo        ext3    noauto,user,rw        1 2

in /etc/fstab.  That device should always mount at /bugaboo.  Note
that the hotplug system will mount it at /media/bugaboo if you plug it
in later.
