Interesting mount non-problem on a Asus Eee PC?

I am running Debian on an EeePC 900 installed to an external USB drive. It was installed without a SD memory card inserted and the device was recognized as sdb. sda is the internal hard drive, sdb the SD memory card and sdc the USB drive. The USB drive is mounted as sdb but is still recognized as sdc and thus I mount the memory card as sdb. The output of the mount command shows /dev/sdb1 mounted twice.

Code:

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1               1         300     2409718+  83  Linux
/dev/sda2             301         484     1477980   83  Linux
/dev/sda3             485         485        8032+   c  W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/sda4             486         486        8032+  ef  EFI (FAT-12/16/32)

Disk /dev/sdb: 7948 MB, 7948206080 bytes
   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdb1              11       19166     7757824    b  W95 FAT32

Disk /dev/sdc: 4007 MB, 4007657472 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdc1   *           1         487     3911796   83  Linux

Output of mount command:
/dev/sdb1 on / type ext2 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
/dev/sdb1 on /media/sdhc type vfat (rw,umask=000)
