[Ma-linux] SCSI drive assignments; how to set order?

[David]

SPARC Linux

So I'm trying to add more SCSI drives to Tux's SPARC Linux box.

Here is the hassle. When I add more drives, on an added controller; they 
are detected at boot. But Linux assigns the drive names (/dev/sda, 
/dev/sdb, etc) in some manner of its own choosing.

The result is that Linux tries to mount {say} /dev/sdg to /home, but it of 
course falls over since that drive is not yet mkfs'ed, much less holding /home.

How do you solve this? The added controller is actually allegedly after the 
internal one [with the system drives...] in pecking order, but that does 
not help.

To make it MORE confusing, that happens with one but NOT both channels of 
the added controller. Huh?

Is there some solution that does not need a goat, incense, and a full moon?
