Given that some folks on here have ran into USB drives changing the |
| 19 |
order of partitions, I think this is a good idea. If needed, they could |
| 20 |
at least introduce the subject then have it link to another page. Even |
| 21 |
if it is the simplest label of using boot, root and such labels and |
| 22 |
maybe a mention that there are other ways to accomplish the same thing. |

I ran into this issue a while back when I added a hard drive and it was |
| 25 |
not easy to work with. When I boot a CD/DVD, it sees them as hd* |
| 26 |
instead of sd* so that didn't help since the OS kernel sees them as sd*. |

It may be uphill to get this included or at least linked to something |
| 29 |
else explaining it but I think it is a good idea. I also added myself |
| 30 |
to the bug as well. I saw the post on -doc. |
