Hi, here's a silly question. I currently have a machine running that
has a de0 and a fxp0 card in it. I want to replace the de0 card with
another identical fxp one.. since they're both PCI, how do I know
which card will become fxp0 and which will become fxp1 ?? I could
just "try it out",, but I'd like to minimize downtime so if there is
a way to know this in advance (slot position, etc.) I'd really love
to know!
TIA,
-Mark
