It is a quite simple solution and unavoidable anyway if you are e.g.
moving your system to a different disk type (from ATA to SCSI or RAID for
example).

A more elegant solution would be to reassign drive numbers using
userconf(4). But I'm afraid this would not work for NetBSD, which does not
have the "clone" command in userconf.

Or, if you think about it in advance, you can "wire down" the devices in
the kernel config. But it requires to recompile the kenel.
