We have sysctl kern.disks. An example for system with four-slots card-reader,
two SATA disks connected using CAM-enabled controlled and one Blu-Ray R/W drive:

$ sysctl kern.disks
kern.disks: ada1 da3 da2 da1 da0 ada0 cd0

Bootable USB flash could be /dev/da4 here, so better use GEOM_LABEL names (UFS labels etc.)
or ZFS pool/fs names.

Also, for non-CAM disk controller like mfi(4) disk names can be /dev/mfidX (RAID volumes),
or something like /dev/vtbdX for virtio-enabled VM guest.
