I have a Promise IDE Caching Controller (4030-VL) which supports up to 4 hard
drives.  When I re-config'ed my kernel with a wd2, at boot time it recognizes
wd0 and wd1, but then repeats the drive ID stuff for wd0.  I made wd2 devices
and tried to access them.  What did I get?, drive 0!  So the question of the
day is: Does anyone have this running, and how did you do it? Thanks in
advance for any responses.   

Drive info:
wd0 = WDAC2420
wd1 = WDAC2340
wd2 = Maxtor 7120
