The lowest device number becomes dasda, the next dasdb, etc., so renaming & editing the hwcfg files would address the original scenario you described, assuming the original DASD was also in order. If the DASD is out of order you'll have to use disk labels or persistent naming to resolve it.

Klaus gave me a couple of other ideas to try, so I'm experimenting with those now. Many thanks for all the hints so far...
