# Beginning with FreeBSD 2.1 you can wire down your SCSI devices so
# that a given bus, target, and LUN always come on line as the same
# device unit. In earlier versions the unit numbers were assigned
# in the order that the devices were probed on the SCSI bus. This
# means that if you removed a disk drive, you may have had to rewrite
# your /etc/fstab file, and also that you had to be careful when adding
# a new disk as it may have been probed earlier and moved your device
# configuration around.
# This old behavior is maintained as the default behavior. The unit
# assignment begins with the first non-wired down unit for a device
# type. For example, if you wire a disk as "sd3" then the first
# non-wired disk will be assigned sd4.
Would it be better to by default try to wire the first 4 disks?
