After plugging-in the firewire device, /dev/da0 changes to /dev/da1 while botting and /dev/da1 (aka firewire) changes to /dev/da0. How can it be accomplished that /dev/da0 (my non-removable SCSI disk) remains /dev/da0, no matter how many removable drives are added to the system? I already did set the ATA_STATIC_ID option in my kernel configuration file. I am running FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE. Regards Daniel S. Haischt Daniel S.
