I have a Targus USB Go Anywhere: a USB keychain drive.  I've found that
if I have the kernel's SCSI disk support compiled statically, each
successive hotplug of the device will cause it to be assigned a new
device number (sda1, sda2, etc.).  However, if SCSI disk support is
compiled as a module (sd_mod), this problem doesn't occur.  I have to
include sd_mod in `/etc/modules.autoload' in this case.  It will not be
automatically loaded for whatever reason.

I know that this is a kluge, but it works well enough unless you must
have static SCSI disk support (booting from a SCSI disk, for instance).
Hope this helps.
