Pb with added disk (pciide) becoming wd0



Hello,

I have some IDE disks that I'd like to read in order to know what is
left on them before deciding what to do with them.

I bought a PCI-E IDE adapter to be able to connect them, since my AMD64
is SATA.

The problem is that the pciide connected disks appear first hence, after
successful boot by the bios with loading of the correct kernel from the
correct disk, the supplementary disk becomes wd0 and conflicts with my
fstab.

My two "permanent" disks are still disklabel'ed (no GPT).

Is there a way to give identifiers to the "permanent" disks, in fstab,
so that whatever I add, the system can identify unambiguously the disks
in fstab?

Or do I have to resort to recompiling the kernel with explicitely
setting the devices in the conf?

TIA
