OK - I did find the answer ...
After plugging-in the firewire device, /dev/da0 changes to /dev/da1 while botting and /dev/da1 (aka firewire) changes to /dev/da0.
How can it be accomplished that /dev/da0 (my non-removable SCSI disk) remains /dev/da0, no matter how many removable drives are added to the system?
I already did set the ATA_STATIC_ID option in my kernel configuration file.
I am running FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE.

Hello,
I have a problem after adding a firewire hard disk to my system. I did format and label the drive and the drive works without any problem.
After a reboot I am getting the following message after the firewire was detected:
ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp
The firewire disk is /dev/da1 and my root (/) partition is /dev/da0s1a. After getting the above error message I am getting a boot prompt which allows me to manually specify an appropriate device. If typing ? to get a list of available devices, /dev/da0s1a is missing.
I guess the solution to is problem is pretty trivial, but at the time I am to blind to see the solution.
Any hints on how to solve this issue would be appreciated.
