/dev/sda and /dev/hda

    As I have been working with 2 hard drives I have discovered for 
certain that both hard drives change to /dev/sda when a partition on 
them is booted. It happens that one is found at /dev/sdf and the other 
is found at /dev/sdb. This leads to confusion and in my case I am not 
sure what to think.

    Is this changing the disk drives a feature or is it a bug? If not a 
feature I will write a bug soon.

    I understand the /dev/hda stays the first hard drive.
