My poor old system died, and I resurrected it by moving the

My internal sata disks are being called /dev/sdb and
/dev/sdc.
This screws with things like hddtemp where you have to
give it args like /dev/sda /dev/sdb.
I don't suppose there is any available mechanism for
forcefully inducing the kernel to enumerate removable
drives last?
You could try fighting with udev rules to force the naming the
way you want it, or just give hddtemp links in /dev/disk/by-id/
instead of /dev/sda, etc. Those links are based on device
serial numbers.
