VMware randomly changes boot order after virtual hardware change

Issue

• We recently added virtual hardware to the guest and the guest will no longer boot up.
• When using the rescue ISO, the boot disk is seen as 4:0:0:0 aka /dev/sdt, although the vm has set the first disk to 0:0:0.
• When a disc is attached to the system, from time to time, the disc changes around, it changes to /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc or /dev/sdh.
