So, it's hard to understand why this is so upsetting to you, when one
considers that it would require a 10-second edit to /etc/fstab to fix.

If you really want to force the drive on the HPT IDE controller to be
wd0, whether there is another drive present or not, it is also trivial
to build a kernel that will number it that way.
