Thanks.  I tried a couple of things similar to that, but I don't think
I had it exactly right.  (I may have had '0's instead of '?'s in the
wrong places.)  Do you know offhand if the exact semantics of stuff
like this is documented somewhere (documentation and/or source)?  I
assume that by looking at the sources for config and/or the scsi parts
of the kernel one could figure it out, but I didn't need to know that
badly.

The only reason I suggest it is that the dynamic device assignment
doesn't buy us anything on current machines, and tends to confuse new
users.  I don't really care that much -- I'll configure my kernel the
way I like it anyway ;) -- but it might eliminate a few FAQ postings.
New users often haven't used FreeBSD or NetBSD before, but most mac
users with more than one disk are at least marginally aware of SCSI
ID's.  I wouldn't even necessarially do the GENERIC kernel this way --
just the ones stuck in with major binary releases.
