Is there some *specific* reason you want the device names in /dev to
match some sequence? For mounting to work, you can just use UUIDs or
LABELs in /etc/fstab. This also works for swap partitions (mkswap has a
-L option).
The only other reason would be getting the BIOS to boot the correct
disk (and this would be handled by BIOS settings). I am not sure what
grub needs exactly (I use lilo myself).
Otherwise, why *exactly* does it matter if a certain disk's device file
is named /dev/sda1 or /dev/sdc1?
