Enterprise 450 UltraSparc II

[Mike Artis <martis@cavtel.net>]

I am trying to install Debian 3.0 r2 on an Enterprise 450 UltraSparc II.
My server has a total of 12 hard drives installed.  Here is the layout
of the disks.  These numbers reflect what the system should see them as
after installation.

        Onboard SCSI controller (holds 4 drives):
                Disks 0-3

        SCSI controller card (holds 8 drives):
                Disks 4-11

	SCSI controller card (holds 8 drives):
		No Disks (room for growth)

My problem is that during and after installation, Debian reports the
drive order incorrectly.  It is reporting disk #4 (the first slot on the
first controller card) as /dev/sda instead of disk #0 as /dev/sda.  This
setup worked correctly in Solaris 9, and works fine if I only have 4
disks in place in the onboard SCSI controller.  As soon as drives get
added to the controller cards, they are recognized first. OpenBoot
always reports the drive order correctly.

Has anyone ever seen this?  I've searched the list archives but came up
empty handed.  I did however see a lot of successful reports with the
E450 and Debian.  Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike
