Re: scsi disk order



Adrian,

There may be an easy way to specify this as a boot parameter,
but I don't know for sure.
Another option is to build a kernel with the QLogic driver built-in , and 
the Symbios driver as a module. That way the QLogic driver will be loaded 
first and those disk will be numbered first.

Good luck !

Jaap.
