Hi,
I've got a small server at my place which is running OpenBSD 4.5 on
an eeebox.

The box has an internal card reader which is identified as sd0, then
i've got /usr, /var and /home on a crypto-softraid device sd1
(bioctl -c C) and also an external backup disk (sd2) which has also
an encrypted partition on it (sd3).

the problem is: if i reboot the server the usb-disk is identified as
sd1 and from this point on the device-numbering is going wrong...

is there a way to tell bioctl or the whole scsi-system that it
should attach the device at a specific devicename?
(e.g. always sd2 for the backup-disk, always sd1 for the first
softraid-device).

Not that I am aware of, but can't you just mount the encrypted disks as
sd2 and sd3?

what do you mean?
the problem is, that if something is mounted at a wrong place (or i've got an additional usb-device attached) the whole numbering gets messed up and nothing is mounted correctly.

this is why i am asking if it's not possible to force a devicename upon a device!

greetings!
