What I wanted was of course that if I had hda and hdc, it shouldnt try to
detect hdb. I didnt want hdc to change into hdb just because there was no
physical hdb. (this is the way SCSI works right now, and it's damn
annoying)

Is this suppåosed to be fixed in v2.1, that the SCSI subsystem will use
devicenames that represents the SCSI ID number instead of the number of
drives that are detected previously?
