This entirely depends on the way your BIOS orders your drivers, as far |
| 35 |
as I know. It could be either way. But, we all know how flexible grub |
| 36 |
is. You can just use TAB to autocomplete and try. All you need to boot |
| 37 |
is your root fs, after that fdisk -l will reveal all the info you |
| 38 |
need. fstab is another story, that might cost you an extra reboot into |
| 39 |
a livecd to fix it. |

But, using labels as said will fix all the problems (beforehand) for |
| 42 |
you, as said. |
