I **KNOW** how to use UUID's ... this is NOT the reason why I am doing this!
I *NEED* the order of the disks to be SDA(1st BIOS drive) SDB(2nd BIOS drive) SDC(3rd BIOS drive) and not SDA (1st BIOS drive) SDB(3rd BIOS drive) SDC (2nd BIOS drive).
Reason: it stuffs up the use of grub2* utilities leaving behind a bunch of error messages.
The SDA (1st BIOS drive) and SDB (2nd BIOS drive) are part of a MDADM raid(1) system.
As soon as I plug in the third drive, the OS (or systemD) decides to put it into the SDB spot - I do NOT want that.
When I the use any of the grub2 utils I end up with "missing drive" errors.
If I leave the drive out NO problem. I have managed twice to have the machine booting with the third drive as SDC, when that happens I I do not get any error messages.
