In upgrading stable/11 on one of my RPI2 hosts it seems that /dev/da0 isn't being
created by the kernel. A second machine with the same software has no such problem.
Both are self-hosting, with /usr, /var /tmp and swap on a usb flash drive. Root is
on microSD.
It happens that the USB flash drive holding the outboard filesystems (root is on
microSD for both machines) is in a different slot on the two machines.
The one which boots successfully reports

The machine which has trouble reports
FreeBSD 11.0-STABLE #1 r307523: Mon Oct 17 09:30:28 PDT 2016

and reports

with no mention of da0.
The clearest difference I can find between the machines is that the
one which creates /dev/da0 has the flash drive on address 6, the one
which fails to create /dev/da0 has the flash drive at address 4. It's
hard to believe that should matter, but it's the only clue found so far.
Rebooting the failed machine with an older kernel results in normal
operation. Svnlite status /usr/src shows no plausible differences in
the source trees.
I'm thoroughly stumped and would be grateful for any hints.
Thanks for reading, and any ideas,
