Sorry, I don't understand your problem. :)

If you are using filesystem labels just mount them using:

mount -L $LABEL /mnt/test

If you need stable root devices you can use UUIDs as well:

What do you mean with automount and "use udev to access them by
their names"? What should /etc/fstab look like in your opinion?
Did I miss what you are searching for? :)
