Aha, what I think has happened is that scsi0 and scsi1 have reversed
their detection order. This is a consequence of moving aic7xxx to the
new PCI model. We no-longer control the detection order, we get probed
in the order that the PCI subsystem decides. In your case, it must have
decided to detect the external card first.
The PCI subsystem pulls a few tricks to try to prevent this, but most of
them rely on ACPI I think ... I assume this isn't an ACPI system?
