Changing SCSI address in shoebox

[ekrell at ulysses.att.com]

This explanation doesn't take into account the SPARCstation eeprom's
"sd-targets" variable which is used as an indirect array of SCSI id
numbers. For instance, if sd-targets=31204567 (the default, I believe),
then the drive with SCSI id 0 becomes sd3 for booting purposes (the first
digit of sd-targets, which identifies SCSI id 0, is a "3") and the drive
with SCSI id 3 becomes sd0.

Of course, the device name used by SunOS comes from the kernel
configuration file (disk sd0 at ... ) and has nothing to do with the name
you use to boot the machine. Very confusing to say the least.
