No, don't be silly, of course you won't.  as long as the disk is the lowest 
ID in the system, it will still be SD0.

If you change it to a higher ID, (like 3) with your secondary disk at a lower 
ID, just boot into single-user and manually mount your slices where they 
should go, (/ & /Usr) and then edit your /etc/fstab.
