When I insert a pcmcia IDE device it becomes /dev/discs/disc1 (disc0 is the
internal hard drive).
Then I remove it and re-insert it and it becomes /dev/discs/disc2!
If the disc gets the first available number assigned to it then that would be
OK. If /dev/ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0 gets permanently assigned to be
/dev/discs/disc2 (until the next reboot) then that would also be OK.
But having it just get an incrementally higher number on each insertion is
IMHO a bug. It's also really annoying when I have several flash-cards to
read and I have to type a different mount command every time instead of
"!mount".
This is in devfsd 1.3.25.
