This really is an FAQ.  There are many ways.  You can use the
device.hintsfile to tie down where scsibus0 goes so that your SCSI
disks are probed
first.  You can dynamically load umass.ko when you're using it.  You can
also take advantage of geom_label.ko (if you create labels on your
filesystems (tunefs -L foo /dev/da0s1a, etc), then /dev/ufs/foo will
appear.  If you used almost any geom class, actually, the name of the disk
gets virtualized to some extent.
