"Wire them down" in FreeBSD using loader.conf variables and this issue will cease to be a problem. Example is below, despite being for SATA with AHCI -- really doesn't matter, just change the appropriate bits and it should be fine for you. # "Wire down" device names (ada[0-5]) to each individual port # on the SATA/AHCI controller. This ensures that if we reboot # with a disk missing, the device names stay the same, and stay # attached to the same SATA/AHCI controller. # http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-fs/2011-March/011036.html # hint.scbus.0.at="ahcich0" hint.scbus.1.at="ahcich1" hint.scbus.2.at="ahcich2" hint.scbus.3.at="ahcich3" hint.scbus.4.at="ahcich4" hint.scbus.5.at="ahcich5" hint.ada.0.at="scbus0" hint.ada.1.at="scbus1" hint.ada.2.at="scbus2" hint.ada.3.at="scbus3" hint.ada.4.at="scbus4" hint.ada.5.at="scbus5" -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc@parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, US | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
