Put the disks in the reverse order? An example is that any A500 or rp2430 labels the drives as 'scsia' and 'scsib', but linux finds them in the reverse order. When only one drive is in 'scsia' it's sda, but when a second drive is added to 'scsib' the order is reversed ('scsia' becomes sdb and 'scsib' becomes sda). c.
