1 is there a way to rescan for devices after bootup? like if i
2 hot-plugged a scsi drive into the machine after it was already
3 running? how can i re-detect the hardware?
4
5 also, what if it detects a drive as sda, and i want it to be sdb? is
6 there a way i can tell it what i want to be sda, sda etc? without
7 actually having to move the drives around?
8
9 im having an issuse where the bios see's the drive i want as sda or
10 the boot drive, but when gentoo boots up the drive is actually sde and
11 i get kernel panics cause its looking for something on a different
12 drive.
