Otoh the order of the devices are not that important, especially with
devfs or one of the userland solutions that supply persistant names for
scsi-devices. If you have multipple controllers, you really _do not_ want
to use the sda0-scheme. (Try to send Media Eject to your root disk and

Also, in some areas it seems to be easier to get the P2B-DS than the
P2B-D. Check the lead times before ordering.
