I can't see an easy way to arrange multi-boot with different /etc/fstab depending if I'm trying /dev/hdaX or /dev/sdaX. Parallel '/' partitions?

That's actually pretty darn easy, with a modern distro. Use filesystem labels, and LABEL= in your /etc/fstab.

The LABEL= feature allowed me to bounce between drivers/ide and libata a dozen times a day, when I was doing the initial libata development.
