Actually, I like Ted's idea better: Have the kernel scan the disk
labels at boot time for every partition detected and grab a list of
the disk labels on those partitions (you will need to label your file
systems of course).
And then, instead of using devices for mouting your file systems, you
just mount them by name:
mount usr /usr
mount MyToys /opt
