Just one more solution, since you mentioned that you repartitioned the
drive. The vol_id command can be used to get the UUID from a
partition. For example on Ubuntu the following command will give the
UUID for hda1:

sudo vol_id -u /dev/hda1

You can just put that value directly into /etc/fstab where you would
normally put /dev/hda1.

HTH,
