(From the Sun SD(4S) man page)
disk sd0 at scsibus0 target 3 lun 0
disk sd1 at scsibus0 target 1 lun 0
disk sd2 at scsibus0 target 2 lun 0
disk sd3 at scsibus0 target 0 lun 0
(End Man page excerpt)
At least with c1d6s0 I know the Scsi id of the device I'm talking to. On single
controller machines I'd be happy enough with sd0 - If that really meant SCSI
disk 0!
On multiple controller machines c1d6s0 is much better
