How do I use by-device-address? Don't find it on the Redhat site nor did Google tell me much. Fstab is built from the input of Anaconda when I build the server isn't it?

You should probably put dasd=200-205,700-701. But you should also use the by-device-address form of talking about your dasd (rather than dasda, dasdb, and so on) in /etc/fstab precisely so you don't have to care as you add and subtract devices, as long as they stay at the same virtual addresses. Also don't forget to rebuild your initrd after every time you change dasd configuration.
