perhaps is an idea to add -L SWAP to the mkswap command when creating
the swap images and to put an LABEL=SWAP into the fstab to add the swap
space (or if doing it in  the scripts, to find the correct device).

Thats how we are doing it and this way we are independant from device
ordering.

Best, Michael
