This may make a flame war, but why not give SCSI & ide devices the SAME device names? Ie. drv0 == first ide controller (harddisk) drv1 == first ide controller (CD-ROM) drv2 == scsi harddrive drv3 == scsi tape backup In my example, I booted from the ide controller (so it started looking there first). If I booted from the scsi harddrive, the 2 scsi drives would be 'found' first? This would simplify (or possibly mutilate) the current naming system for drives. However, is there anyway I can make drv1 (or at3) remain drv1 or at3 when I add more devices?
