I've actually noticed that the probe order in FreeBSD appears to have
changed between RELENG_4 and -CURRENT. I likewise experienced it with
on-board and external fxp chipsets, only in my case, the probe order for
(fxp0, fxp1) switched with (fxp2, fxp3), as there were two on-MB and two
on a card. Interestingly, our -CURRENT probe order is the same as that on
OpenBSD. It's not clear what the "right" probe order is, but changing
probe orders certainly is annoying during an upgrade :-).
