um...probably sd2 unless you had more scsi disks on the first host
adaptor.  it's simple once you think about it.  just (mentally or on a
piece of paper) assign all your devices a two digit number, where the
first digit is the controller number (0, 1, whatever) in the order
that the controllers are found, and the second digit is the scsi id
(0-7 or 0-f if you're using four bit scsi ids) and then sort that
list.  the disks get number 0, 1, 2, etc. in the order they're found
on the list, tape drives and other scsi devices the same...
