Just FTR, since I think you've posted that your transition worked,
there are a couple of other places that need to be checked for hdaX
references, e.g., if you're using crytpsetup / luks, "/etc/crypttab"
and your bootloader configuration (if you're using kernel options such
as cryptopts=source=hdaX).
