To wire scsi devices, you can use hints as described in scsi(4)..
For example:
This assigns CAM bus 0 to the bus 1 instance on ahc1. Peripheral drivers
can be wired to a specific bus, target, and lun as so:
hint.da.0.at="scbus0"
hint.da.0.target="0"
hint.da.0.unit="0"
I've never tried this w/ USB disks though.
Though I will second the usage of gpt labels or glabels, those are
more reliable, and will stay them same even when you move disks
around, say in a hot swap enclosure...
Hope this helps..
