Well, if it boots, it's probably ok.

However, what you can do is add this to your kernel config:

wdc0 at obio? flags0x1			# this is the standard one
wd0  at wdc0 channel 0 drive 0		# assuming the channel and drive
					# are right

Then wd0 will always be internal drive 0.

I use a comparable thing to keep sd0 in the same place.

Take care,
