I use this script to manipulate the disklist:
http://fai-project.org/download/misc/99-disklist.sh

In the next FAI version 6.2 (the release may come in the next few
days) there are more functions to change the order of the disks, like
smallestdisk or matchdisks which can match to a certain serial number.
