There's no guarantee what disks will be labeled. To use more than on disk without having them change names, you need to mount them as /dev/disk/by-uuid/... You can put this into /etc/fstab and then you need to run: update-initramfs -u flash-kernel > When logging in as root for the first time, I have to change the > root password to something other than what I chose during the > install. That seems a little redundant. Maybe your clock wasn't set properly before and now it is, or the other way around.
