Up to date Stretch.
I have just reinstalled Stretch on a new SSD as sda. I have two
additional HD's on the platform, sdb and sdc.
Here is the blkid ouput:

On the basis of blkid output I edited /etc/fstab:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).

/dev/sdb5 is the swap partition on the old sda, the new SSD was
installed as sda, so I didn't include that swap in the edited fstab.
I also added sdb1, sdc1 and sdc2 to /. /dev contains
/sdb/sdb1/sdb2/sdb5/sdc,sdc1 and sdc2 as well as all of the entries for sda.
Before saving the edited fstab I renamed the /etc/fsab /etc/fstab_old.
When I rebooted the computer the OS didn't like the new fstab and gave
me a number of, at least to me, obscure messages.
However, I was allowed to log on as root and execute startx. This
allowed me to reinstall the unedited fstab and the system booted properly.
Obviously, I missed something important. My question is what?
Thanks in advance.
