To fix sd numbering on multiple SCSI busses, you have to build a custom
kernel like:
scsibus0 at isp?
scsibus1 at esp?
scsibus2 at siop?
sd0 at scsibus0
sd1 at scsibus0
sd2 at scsibus0
sd3 at scsibus0
sd4 at scsibus0
sd10 at scsibus2
sd11 at scsibus2
sd12 at scsibus2
sd13 at scsibus2
sd14 at scsibus2
sd15 at scsibus2
sd16 at scsibus2
sd17 at scsibus2
...
But, for sd on USB, it becomes more difficult to predict where do you
plan to plug your USB keys.
An alternative could be to use hotplugd(8) and to mount your "just
identified sd using its label" on top of the wanted mount point. You
just need to set a unique label per disk and rely on it.
