A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away (actually, it was on 28-Jun-99),

For the next time, please read up before asking a question here. For
example, the answer to your question can be clearly found in the sample
kernel configuration file, /sys/i386/conf/LINT.
You should "wire down" your SCSI hard drive to da0. This can be done like
this (in the kernel config file): For example, if your SCSI boot disk is
SCSI ID #0
disk da0 at scbus0 target 0 unit 0
^---- replace this with your SCSI disk's SCSI ID
This way, your SCSI disk will always get assigned to da0, no matter what
other devices are in your SCSI chain (or not).
