i don't know if this question is port-mac68k specific, but why does NetBSD
use it's own driver scheme, rather than Linux's, where the number in the
device driver would correspond to the SCSI ID?

i have 3 netbsd disks, SCSI ID's #0, 2, and 3. when all powered up, NetBSD
sees them as /dev/sd0, sd2 and sd3, respectively.

sometimes i shut off disk ID #2 because i don't need it, but that's not
cool with /etc/fstab, which wants to now see the SCSI ID #3 drive as
/dev/sd2

i like linux's number scheme better.  why doesn't netbsd do that?

thanks,
