Label the drives and use labels instead of device names.
Get some inspiration from Warren's excellent article here:

Good piece, but it doesn't explicitly cover one case and "man"
provides no example.
I have a disk - ad1 - with a partition - p2 - that was
(obviously) created by gpart ... but no label was attached.
Can I add a label to that partition later? "man gpart" only
shows a label being added when the partition is created,
(untested)
# gpart modify -i 2 -l mylabel ada0
There's also http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/labels.html ,
which talks about filesystem labels. UFS labels can be added later with
tunefs(8). I really need to do a combined article that covers all the
different types of labels. It's on the list.
