Devlabel, volume labels and such can't solve all problems yet.  For
example, when my Thinkpad is standalone a flash memory card in the CF slot
is /dev/hde1 but when docked it gets /dev/hdi1.  Yes if you only have a
couple of cards you can assign volume labels or have devlabel look at the
serial number, etc.  But what you can't have is /mnt/CF and have any
arbitrary CF memory card automount there.  Or at least I haven't found a
way.  I just made /mnt/CF1 and /mnt/CF2, added fstab entries and moved on
to the next problem.
