The kernel seem to prefer random assignment of scsi devices, at least
they don't want a scheme like we was used to in the /dev/hda days,
where there was a direct connection between the device name (or rather
maj/min. numbers) and the bus/id.

I call it "automatically wrong".

Fix it by using
 older kernel
 not loading usb-storage at boot time
 usign some udev-scheme with uuid or something
