I my actual F8, I have 2 disk devices: One Sata-Disk: /dev/sda, and 1

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?
F9 Beta changed my drive sequence from 360GB ide (sda) + 3 160GB satas
(sdb..d) to 3 160GB satas (sda..c) + 360GB ide (sdd). Since I use LVs
and labels, the only issue was the bios boot sequence which anaconda
ignored and I fixed during boot configuration during install.
F9 alpha, F8, unity and centos all saw the drive sequences the same and
bios boot sequence was correct.
The strangeness continues: installation from F9 Beta DVD was as above
and fstab was created with /dev/sdd5, not some UUID, as swap. Somewhere
along the line after one of the rawhide updates, the drive sequence has
changed back to the original. I discovered this when I saw a msg about
a swapon error and saw /dev/sdd5 in fstab and fdisk shows it is now
/dev/sda5. Swaps used to be created with labels which would have
avoided this issue.
The question now becomes why wasn't /dev/sdd5 UUID used to id the swap
device during the original installation? Or do they pertain to swap
devices? I see that blkid /dev/sda5 returns only:
/dev/sda5: TYPE="swap".
