I think LVM can do this. Basically at boot time the system scans all
harddrives for LVM tags and maps the logical drives into /dev. I am
certain this will work but I have not tested it.

If you want to test LVM I would recommend Debian/Sarge as it supports
root on LVM without a seperate /boot. I think the only issue would be
the boot loader finding the initrd.
