Hi list,

I have a USB device which consists of three logical units.  unit_1 
registers as a cdrom device, unit_2 as disk device, unit_3 is a "hidden" 
partition AFAIK only accessible by a special windows software (never tried).

I have an installer which requires to boot from unit_1 (logical CDROM) 
and access unit_2 later on.  Installation will go onto the first block 
device.

I have to use the usb-storage driver for both unit_1 and unit_2 because 
of its support for the builtin USB-to-IDE bridge.  I have build 
usb-storage statically into kernel because that's the easiest way for me 
to boot from unit_1.  Problem: currently unit_2 is assigned as /dev/sda, 
  another SCSI device is assigned /dev/sdb (driver as module).

Is there a way for usb-storage to not use /dev/sda for its block device 
and instead start from a user-defined block device, such as /dev/sdb?

Thanks in advance.  /holger
