The problems arise before those options are available :-( But it is
possible to use grub's editing options to get an initial system. Then
one can edit the grub configuration and /etc/fstab to match whichever
kernel is loaded. The point is that the installer is setting these
things up incorrectly. Short of using something like disc labels or
somehow ensuring that all kernels agree on enumeration in all
circumstances, there doesn't seem to be an easy solution.
