I think physical reordering gave different results in ISA, while changing
the SCSI IDs causes your drives to be "reordered" wrt device assignment.

It's confusion about the meaning of "reordering". 

BTW, it would be kinda spiffy to be able to "mount /usr" and have it mount
the /usr partition, no matter what ID it happens to be at. It'd get messy
if you had multiple partitions laying around that were previously mounted
at /usr. Hmmmm.
