freebsd stable - Jun 2006 - bridge.ko, sysctrl.conf and ifconfig_XXX_name, SCSI as a boot device

Hello list,
I have two minor problems:

First one: 

I want to make bridging on two of my interfaces but have problem when I use 
ifconfig_XXX_name directrive in rc.conf . After each restart of machine I 
must enter manually commands for sysctrl to enable bridging.

After reboot dmesg shows:
interface net0 Not found in bridge
interface net2 Not found in bridge

/etc/rc.conf:
ifconfig_rl0_name="net0"
ifconfig_rl1_name="net1"
ifconfig_rl2_name="net2"

/etc/sysctrl.conf:
net.link.ether.bridge.enable=1
net.link.ether.bridge.config=net0,net2

Second problem:

I have SCSI controller with 40GB hard disk and two ATA disks. My FreeBSD is 
installed on da0 (SCSI). Last night I connect USB stick to the box and 
transfer some files. On morning I found that machine is restarted because of 
power outage and refuse to boot. After first wave of panic I found that USB 
Flash Disk is still attached and kernel change naming order of SCSI devices:
Now ad0 was USB Flash, SCSI -FUJITSU - ad1. I thing that is not good idea to 
naming USB devices first and after this real SCSI devices.

So, what is the right workaround of these problems?

Regards, 
Todor Dragnev

There's no 'r' in sysctl. Maybe that's why? ;)

/etc/sysctl.conf is processed really early in the startup process so the
renaming hasn't happend yet.  Using the origional names would work, but
would be confusing.  If you want the naming, I'd suggest switching to
if_bridge which can be configured entierly using rc.conf variables.
