Usually, device numbers are assigned sequentially based on the SCSI ID.
If you have three SCSI hard drives on IDs 0, 4, and 6, a CD-ROM at 5 and a
tape drive at 1, each will be assigned a device number based on the type.
You'll have sda, sdb, and sdc for the hard drives, st0 for the tape, and
sr0/scd0 for the cdrom. If you stick another hard drive in at ID 2, it
will then become sdb and the other two will be bumped accordingly
(sbc->sdc, sdc->sdd).
Does that make sufficient scnse?
