I my actual F8, I have 2 disk devices: One Sata-Disk: /dev/sda, and 1 IDE-Disk: /dev/sdb. But in F9 Beta, these two disks seem to be interchanged (/dev/sda <--> /dev/sdb). Is this true, and if yes, why?

Should drive detection change from alpha to beta? Does it really make any differnce?
Yes, drive detection may change between alpha and beta. It could change
depending on the phase of the moon.
Device names are dynamically assigned and may change without warning or
reason. DO NOT RELY ON THEM STAYING THE SAME BECAUSE THEY WON'T.
We do kickstart installs where we have something like:
part / --onpart sda1 --fstype ext3 --size 1 --grow
in the kickstart file.

How can we ensure that we are installing to the drive we expect?

There's a syntax for using "biosdisks" for this, which uses unique
labels in the master boot records of the disks to distinguish one disk
from another, and lets you be sure you're installing onto the disk
that the BIOS will boot from.

Thanks Matt. Any idea how to find out what these unique labels are?
