  This is very easy to accomplish.  Just change the definition of the
devices in your config file:

sd0	at scsibus ? target 0 lun 0
sd1	at scsibus ? target 1 lun 0
sd2	at scsibus ? target 2 lun 0 ,etc.

and rebuild the kernel.  This way, SCSI ID 0 will be sd0, SCSI ID 2 will
be sd2, etc, for all the devices you've configured.
