I thinks there is no difference between scbus0 and scbus1 at CAM
layer. I suspect you have problem in PCI bus and removing the SCSI card
hides the problem.

You can easily exchange scbus 0 and 1 without removing the card by
adding the following line into the kernel config file.

device        scbus0 at sbp0
