[PLUG] Adding new drives to fstab

[Art Alexion <art.alexion@verizon.net>]

I don't really understand the new UUID method of adding drives to fstab.  I 
just added a bunch of new drives to this computer and I'm not sure how to set 
them up.

Grub is on /dev/hda I think, but the root OS drive is /dev/sda2 (I think)

I added a SATA dvd-rw, two IDE drives and want to mount /dev/hda1

This is the existing fstab (a the bottom).  I understood the old nomenclature 
but not this.

I don't think that /dev/hdb is the cdrom drive anymore.  That's 
probably /dev/hde or f or g.

Physically, /dev/hda is the slave on the motherboard IDE controller.  There is 
another HD which is the master on that controller.  A third IDE HD is on a 
Promise PCI card slot 1, and an IDE DVD-RW on slot 2 (no slaves on the pci 
card).  Finally, a SATA DVD-RW on SATA 3.  (sda1 is on SATA 2, and SATA 1 is 
for an external SATA.)

I don't remember having trouble with this before.  (pre-SATA, old fstab 
nomenclature)

I need help with two things:

	1. how to detect which drive is on which /dev device
	2. how to edit fstab to mount them.  
All of the IDE HDs are from a prior system and are formatted with ext3 
already.  hda is the old boot drive from this system before I got the SATA 
and reinstalled the OS.
