I'm booting a freebsd system from a USB stick. It is currently at da0 but if I add physical SATA drives, it moves to da2 and further depending on number of drives. How can I fix the usb disk to be at da32 or some finite number so that even if I add more devices, the boot device would still be at a finite location. Thanks.
