You may want to become familiar with: # # The following options are valid on the ATA driver: # # ATA_STATIC_ID: controller numbering is static ie depends on location # else the device numbers are dynamically allocated. options ATA_STATIC_ID Long time ago FreeBSD people decided that it's very annoying when you plug ata CD or another HDD and then your ad1 (which is ad4) becomes ad2, and makes your OS un- bootable without manual intervention. Today we have geom labels, but still ATA_STATIC_ID is something I really miss on every linux .. P.S. -current removed.
