Ordering of swap and root is unimportant. I think maybe your scsi
config wasn't the same once you booted. One little difficulty with the
sda/sdb linux idea, is that if you change scsi addresses, or
plug/unplug devices, you likely need to change the /etc/fstab to
match the new configuration. The lowest scsi address is identified as sda,
sdb is the next lowest, etc.
I first ran across this when installing on an external drive on a machine
with an internal ide drive, so installing on sda, then hooking it up to
a machine with an internal scsi drive - the install is suddenly on sdb.
