>Environment:

FreeBSD with SCSI disks

>Description:

sd thinks it is smarter than you on id's you want your disks have.  Install
three disks, sd1a is /tmp and sd2a is users.  Guess what happens if sd1 
breaks down, controller misses it by the phase of the moon, or you forget
to power it up if it is in an external box.

I wouldn't be happy about editing fstab every time disk configuration changes, 
but that is a minor problem compared to potential dangers this brings us.

(I already complained, but maybe it is a good idea to gnats it so that it 
won't be forgotten)

>How-To-Repeat:

Install disks with id's 0 and 2 and you get sd0 and sd1.  

>Fix:
	
Add ability to wire down SCSI disks.  Config line described in "man 4"
pages and in LINT.
