Hi, I have a similar problem since I an using softraid to encrypt /var and /home. The softraid device is usually on sd0. But when I have an usb mass storage device plugged in during boot up it gets assigned to sd0 and softraid gets sd1. Still, my fstab tries to mount from /dev/sd0X. This can be annoying. Is there no way to reserve sd0 or tell bioctl to use a higher number for the softraid sdX? With vnd(3) this is not so much of a problem, because vnd(3) devices won't conflict with unpredictable things like usb-sticks, which share the sd(4) namespace.
