Volume labels to the rescue.

If you haven't done that before, label your partitions with the
"e2label" command, e.g.

  e2label /dev/hda6 boot
  e2label /dev/hda8 home

and use those labels in /etc/fstab:

  LABEL=boot     /boot      ext2        defaults    .... and so on
  LABEL=home     /home      ext2        defaults    .... and so on
