In most cases order of adaX devices should match order of ad devices, so 
first adX will become ada0, second - ada1, etc. The only exception there 
should be devices on ATA channels in legacy/ISA emulation mode: ata0 
(ad0/ad1) and ata1 (ad2/ad3). Old ATA always allocated these devices 
first, but new ATA will allocate them as any other in order of their 
channels registration. That order you can see in dmesg.
