It seems that FreeBSD detects my PCI devices in slot order.  This is a bit
of a problem because I want my Buslogic (bt0) detected before my DPT
(dpt0) card so that sd0 will be assigned to the Buslogic.

I don't really want to hardcode the drive names (using the 'disk'
directive in the kernel config); is there some other way to force the
drives on the Buslogic to be scanned first?

Thanks.

Evan
