Im trying to get a machine to boot w/ 4 Adaptec 2940UW's in it, the boot disk
is on controller 2, ID 0, I've hardwired down the scsi ID's like so:
sdXY where X is controller and Y is scsi ID, my boot disk resides on
sd20 (Its there because of how ALR probe's the dual PCI busses,
anyway...)
FreeBSD happily loads the kernel, but then fails with cant switch to root
device sd0a, even though in the kernel I told it to boot from sd20. Must I
force a definition of sd0a and lose my nice mapping to make this sucker work?
