Upgrading from etch to lenny; root naming convertion problems on boot,,,

Greetings,
(I think there has already been some discussion on this, but I want to
make sure...)
Reading section 4.8 of the Lenny Release Notes it talks about a problem
where "System boot hangs on Waiting for root file system",
where the naming convention has changed from /dev/hda to /dev/sda
and gives 2 options of how to avoid the problem before upgrading:
1. Labelling root filesystem as "rootfilesys" and changing a line
in /boot/grub/menu.lst to:
# kopt=root=LABEL=rootfilesys ro
OR
2. Using the UUID and updating menu.lst appropriately.
The question I want to know is; if my menu.lst is:
# kopt=root=/dev/sda2 ro
and my fstab entry for root is:
/dev/sda2 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
Then I probably don't need to worry about this gotcha,
OR is there a "Future-proof" way of setting up the disk???
TIA, fcG.
