Did you try just
sd0 at scsibus? target 0 lun ?
sd1 at scsibus? target 1 lun ?
sd2 at scsibus? target 2 lun ?
sd* at scsibus? target ? lun ?

...etc. ?  This worked the last time that I tried it.

I've gone back and forth on this for some time.  I personally prefer to
keep the current behavior for myself and it's not different from NetBSD
on other platforms or from FreeBSD.
