Question on Alpha X1000

Dear Manager,

We have a XP1000 recently delivered and preinstalled with tru64 Unix 4.0F,
EV6 (no patches applied)

We add a second SCSI controller for the external devices like tape drive
etc. When I switch on and do a show device at the console prompt, it
indicates external devices are attached to the 2nd controller as you would
expect (dkb500, mkb400 etc). However, when I boot the machine, Unix sees the
external devices attached to the 4th controller (rz29, rz28 etc)

Using SCU to scan the system shows the following:

    bus 0, target 0, lun 0 // internal disk
    bus 1, target 0, lun 0 // internal CD-ROM
** bus 3, target 5, lun 0 // external disk
** bus 3, target 4, lun 0 // external tape

Has anyone come across this before and does anyone know why at the console,
it sees external devices attached to the 2nd controller (dkb500, mkb400) but
when booted the system, Unix sees the external devices attached to the 4th
controller (rz29, rz28) ?

Any insight appreciated.

TIA

Eric
