It is awkward that dynamically and/or statically attaching SCSI hard
drive and
USB hard drive to the system will have different da IDs.
For example, boot system with a SCSI drive (SCSI = 1), will have a da0
for this
SCSI drive. Then plugging in a USB hard drive, which will be configured
as da1.
If boot system with both drives online, system will boot from SCSI drive
fine till
mounting root point. It fails because USB drive has da0 and SCSI drive
has da1.
Is there anyway to configure the system to have fixed da ID for SCSI
drive or
even for USB drive regardless if they are dynamically/statically
attached to the
system?
