You can also use any of the links in /dev/disk. For example, I have at
least one system that will only boot from a few favoured USB sticks,
so I use the same ones over for netinst i386 and netinst amd64.
However, the soft labelling on the sticks varies from release to
release, but the ID of each stick doesn't, so in /etc/fstab I use,
for example:
/dev/disk/by-id/usb-Generic_Flash_Disk_58F99DC1-0:0 /media/alsglobal2g iso9660 ro,user,noauto
(The mount point is created by udev which spots that ID_SERIAL_SHORT=58F99DC1)
Cheers,
David.
