Ok, sorry that idea didn't work.

The only other thing I can think of to try is change root=/dev/sda3.
If for some reason the USB storage stuff initialized before the SATA
system, then the USB drive would become sda and the SATA drive sdb.
This doesn't happen on my system, but it should show up in the kernel
messages above the error, so I guess check there to make sure things
seem sane.
