Is there any way to statically assign a device name to a specific disk
so that if the BIOS renumbers the disks (for example if I move around
a controller) so that the devices always come up with the same name?
Yes. On 4.x you specify it on

GEOM_LABEL is what you're looking for.
Thanks, that seems like it will work perfectly. Do you know if I can

loose it on reboot or if the disk goes away.
Glabel can create both transient and permanent labels:
