# Sun compatible scsi device mappings
sd0 at scsibus? target 0 lun 0
sd1 at scsibus? target 0 lun 1
sd2 at scsibus? target 1 lun 0
sd3 at scsibus? target 1 lun 1
sd* at scsibus? target ? lun ?
It uses the SunOS mappings for the first 4 disks, and the NetBSD-style
afterwards. So, given this scheme, assuming that there are no other
disks on your system, your disk at target 5 would conf up as sd4.
