freebsd stable - May 2011 - setting usb disc to da1

Hello,
I've plugged a USB disc to a FreeBSD System and it's dedected as da1:

da1: <Samsung G3 Station > Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device

But when rebooting the machine, it becomes da0 and I cannot boot the
system. What's the trick to set the USB disc to da1 permanent?

Thanks,
Tom.

You can, to some degree, wire the device with..
hint.scbus.0.at="umass-sim0"
hint.da0.at="scbus0"

However I would recommend using GPT IDs, UFS IDs or GEOM labels in fstab so the
underlying device name is irrelevant.
