I have a shiny new Sun X4100 here and it works pretty well (except that
there is a bug in the ILOM bios that refuses to let the serial port

I attached an external RAID array using an LSI fibre channel card, and
now the boot disk is not found after the kernel boots. Ie, it can't
find the root volume. This is because the fibre channel card is probed
as mpt0 and the on-board disks are connected to mpt2. (Where's mpt1?
no idea.) Once the RAID volume was initialized, the ordering of the
disk device names changed.
Is there some way to force the boot drive controller to be probed first
and be mpt0? Or is there some way to force the boot drive to be a fixed
device name?
I'm planning to play with the RAID configuraitons and change partitions
and add logical drives, etc., so this will be painful to reconfigure the
OS every time I reconfigure the RAID. Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks!
I'm running 6.2/amd64 from a fresh CD install.
Look in /sys/conf/NOTES for a long discussion on wiring SCSI device order.
