That's not true. The kernel has a name for the scsi disc with major 8,
minor 0 and it's 'sda'. It uses it in all the printks from sd.c. The
poor user now has the job of mapping UUID <-> sdN <-> bus address <->
physical location, for we use the first three and often what they really
need to know is the fourth.
