As usual, the situation is insane because you have so many controllers
on the system (more than just mps(4)) -- specifically 11 separate
controllers or systems using CAM (hence scbus0 to scbus10).

Below is for mps(4).  If you want to wire down ahci(4), things are
a bit different, but you can read this post of mine:
