I'm not sure about changing the ID, nor about changing the boot
device. You can, however, avoid the problems with the mounted
partitions by using labels. Assign a label to a partition (e.g. using
tune2fs - see 'man tune2fs' for more), then use the label in
/etc/fstab. Example:

LABEL=/usr /usr ext3 defaults 1 2

Those partitions become independent of the actual block device, as
mount will be looking for the label.

Cheerio,

Thomas
