Label the disks a, b, c, d.  Then remove disks c and d, and reinsert
them but in the opposite slot, then check the status of the raid.  You
may have to do this 24 times, before you hit the right combination.

a b c d    b a c d    c b a d    d b c a
a b d c    b a d c    c b d a    d b a c
a c d b    b c d a    c a d b    d c a b
a c b d    b c a d    c a b d    d c b a
a d b c    b d a c    c d b a    d a b c
a d c b    b d c a    c d a b    d a c b

You maybe able to cheat, if your raid tells you which slots don't have
the correct disk in it.
