This is a 'standard' problem with USB.
Things get recognized in different orders on different boots, or
as mentioned in an earlier post, if you just mount them when you
need them.
Its a real pain under the 2.4.x kernel, but is one of those nice
things in going to 2.6.
Take a look at the 'udev' package.
With it you can cause devices to 'appear' on whatever device name
you want.
I have a USB Disk and a USB key, and they played tag with sda/sdb
as your are.
Now they just come up on usbdisk and usbkey, no problems at all.
