The /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, etc. names are assigned by the kernel in the
order detected. If you aren't hotplugging, that will normally be
fixed by the controller and connection order on the machine, and bios
will see the boot drive as the one linux calls /dev/sda. USB and
hotplug drives are somewhat special cases since they can be detected
in any order. If you boot from USB it may become /dev/sda,
regardless of the normal detection order. I didn't think that
happened with CD drives - at least IDE/SATA versions.
