You shouldn't "expect" this in any way shape or form. The device numbers are not consistent, and are known to change depending upon lots of reasons (AHCI disabled/enabled, another ATA controller in place, SATA in "compatible" mode or "enhanced" mode, etc. etc.). Thus, never expect the adX devices to "start with 0". -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
