[Wlug] Hard drive configuration

I hope someone can point me in the right direction. I have a SuSE 9.3 
system that was fully configured when I bought it. When looking at fstab 
the drives are configured as follows:

/dev/sdb3       /       reiserfs        acl,user_xattr 1 1
/dev/sdb1       /boot   reiserfs        acl,user_xattr 1 2
/dev/sda1       /raid   reiserfs        defaults 1 2
/dev/sdb2       swap    swap    pri=42 0 0

I downloaded OpenSuSE 10.2 and attempted to upgrade the system. When 
running either an upgrade or new install it tells me that /dev/sda3 is 
defined as /dev/sdb3 in fstab.

Bottom line when I install opensuse 10.2 it sees my raid as sdb and the 
system is currently setup to have it as sda. I do not understand why my 
current configuration is the opposite of what a new install is finding. 
Where do I go from here?
