So, upon adding an external drive, the internal drives all renumber with the generic kernel+device hints. I thought adding a line to /boot/device.hints might work, so reading /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/gethints.awk for clues, I added: hint.da.0.at="ahc1" But that didn't have a noticeable effect. Looking again, I probably asked too much from that interface, as I see no examples with ctlr name+numbers to the right of the =. So, how to fix device 0 lun 0 on ahc 1 to be da0? Alternatively how to get /devfs to incorporate the ctlr number in the /dev entry, like: dac1s1a? Thanks, -sam
