In that case, instead of using UUID, label your disk (using tune2fs or whatever)
and change fstab to mount by label, something like this:

tune2fs -L MyRootFS /dev/sda1
(assuming your root partition is /dev/sda1 and it's ext2 or ext3)

Then mount it something like this in FSTAB:
LABEL=MyRootFS  /  ext3  defaults,errors=remount-ro  0  1
(Just like the web page says, but use LABEL= instead of UUID=)

I haven't had to do it on my N2100 (it had 2 drives from the start) but
I used to do just this on my NSLU2 and it worked a treat.
