Installed Knoppix does not boot due to change in USB port
I need help as I am new to Linux. I have installed the Knoppix Live CD on a USB drive by first booting it in VMWare.
1. Now whenever I try to boot it on other desktop, it fails to find root (it looks like somewhere it has hard registered the root drive as /dev/sda1) as the USB drive is now sdb instead of sda. So I have to again reboot, find the drive name (sda or sdb or sdc) and then pass it as kernel parameter. Can anyone please suggest, how can I have knoppix automatically find the root and boot without issues, I like the way xubuntu identifies drives with UUID, so even if the USB port changes, new partition arrives, the root is recognized correctly.
2. After passing the root=/dev/sdxx, booting does fail for root drive, but further it fails while executing swapon /dev/sda1 during boot (now it's sdb1), and then I am dropped to the bash shell.
It would be appreciable is someone can help me out in this. Thanks.

boot with the knoppix CD and edit the fstab on /dev/sdb1 to reflect the change in root device.
i.e.
Change from: /dev/sda1 / ext3 defaults
to: /dev/sdb1 / ext3 defaults
As far as mount via UUID maybe google can turn up some help... been curious about this one myself.
Take Care,

"...been curious about this one myself. .."
so I checked.... pretty straight forward:
' ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/ ' will show you all UUID's
The entry in /etc/fstab should look like:
# Device # Mountpoint #filesystem #Options
UUID=f9ac5b2e-cc45-4479-8871-f9fc40134cf0 / ext3 defaults,noatime 0 0
and the root= parameter for the kernel cmdline:
root=UUID=f9ac5b2e-cc45-4479-8871-f9fc40134cf0
Take care,
