This is a _perfect_ situation to start using labels. :-)

Just a guess: The kernel enumerates the devices as they come
up (presented by "the hardware"). There are "reserved number
ranges" according to what the storage controller _can_ offer,
even if it's not the case.

Example from my home system:

ad0 = ATA, primary master
ad1 = ATA, primary slave
ad2 = ATA, secondary master
ad3 = ATA, secondary slave
ad4 = SATA 1st port
ad6 = SATA 2nd port

If I'd remove the support for the (ordinary) ata devices,
it would maybe be possible that the numbering scheme changes.
I'm not sure in how far AHCI (because of SATA) fits in here.
The SATA drives could then be ada0 and ada1, or ada4 and ada6
respectively.

I could imagine you're experiencing something similar...
