Synopsis: the ahc driver doesn't correctly grok switched SCSI channels State-Changed-From-To: open->suspended State-Changed-By: gibbs State-Changed-When: Mon Feb 8 07:23:01 PST 1999 State-Changed-Why: The 3940 series of controllers look to the system as two independent SCSI controllers. For this reason it is difficult to modify the attach order to match the BIOS channel configuration setting. A correct solution involves allowing CAM drivers to prioritize their channels during the probe sequence so that they can be sorted prior to attach. This is not as trivial a problem to solve as it may seem since you probably want to do things like detect if a particular channel has the boot drive and bump its priority. I plan to look into this at some point, but not in the immediate future. In the mean time, man scsi(4) and read the section on hardwiring devices. You can force the channels to attach in any order with this mechanism.
