It would be *** REALLY NICE *** is I didn't have to search for my 
dvd-recorder every time I reboot.
Sometimes its /media/cdrecorder, sometimes /media/cdrecorder2.  
Sometimes its on scsi bus 0, sometimes on scsi bus 1 (my usb hard drive 
is on the other).  My usb hard drive also gets mounted under several 
different names, making symbolic links and 'bind' mounts rather difficult.
Most annoying of all, If I add a hard drive, the funky volitile numbers 
grub uses to access things change, and I can't reboot without a rescue 
disc until I guess the new numbers.  Why does (0,0) become (2,0), the 
new drive (1,0), and (0,0) get left unused?

I don't really care if it does it my way or not, I just want it to be 
deterministic and predictable.
