Hi Volodymyr,

I didn't really try to reproduce this, but here's an excerpt from a  
template we have been using successfully:

---cut here---
[...]
   vm-vda:
     type: OS::Cinder::Volume
     properties:
       description: VM vda
       image: image-vda
       name: disk-vda
       size: 100
   vm-vdb:
     type: OS::Cinder::Volume
     properties:
       description: VM vdb
       image: image-vdb
       name: disk-vdb
       size: 120
   vm:
     type: OS::Nova::Server
     depends_on: [vm_subnet, vm_floating_port, vm-vda, vm-vdb, service]
     properties:
       flavor: big-flavor
       block_device_mapping:
       - { device_name: "vda", volume_id : { get_resource : vm-vda },  
delete_on_termination : "true" }
       - { device_name: "vdb", volume_id : { get_resource : vm-vdb },  
delete_on_termination : "true" }
       networks:
[...]
---cut here---

So basically, this way you tell the instance which volume has to be  
/dev/vda, vdb etc. We don't use any boot_index for this.

Hope this helps!

Regards,
Eugen
