You might be able to just boot with the persistant device names...
/dev/disk/by-id/* or something - you'll need to boot to find something
that works in /dev/disk

You can then try this as your kernel root= parameter, but at the
moment I'm unsure if klibc-udev contains the persistant disk naming (I
hope it does).
