ata wrongly detects both harddisks as the same model

FreeBSD-current from ~14:00 CEST, 13th of April fails to mount root due to 
apparently a harddisk detection problem. The system has two different ide 
harddisks, connected to the same controller on the same cable. They used to 
be detected as:

ad0: 114473MB <WDC WD1200JB-00EVA0 15.05R15> at ata0-master UDMA100
ad1: 114498MB <SAMSUNG SP1203N TL100-24> at ata0-slave UDMA100

But now it is:

ad0: 114473MB <WDC WD1200JB-00EVA0 15.05R15> at ata0-master UDMA100
ad1: 114473MB <WDC WD1200JB-00EVA0 15.05R15> at ata0-slave UDMA100

It doesn't boot because the root partition is on ad1.
