In sdX, the X means the device's instance id.
On simple once controller systems, you can pretty much call the instance ID the SCSI target ID I think.
For example, sd6 is usually the CDROM drive which is commonly found on ID6.
That was a simple way if you don't have a lot of controllers.
Otherwise, you can use "sysdef -d" or "prtconf -v". It will give you a heirarchical breakdown of what drivers are attached to what devices, etc. And you can make deteminations of which controllers and which targets they are that way.
It's ugly, I know, but it's the only way I can think of doing what you want. I've had to do this on some E6500 machines before, and let me tell you it was not pretty.

Dear Gurus,
Could it be possible to have the output of df -k sorted? The df -k output messed up after recent power trip.
Also, is there any folders that I should look into to reduce the root size (other than /var/adm and /var/crash) after server crash?
Many thanks in advance.

msdosfs
MSDOSFS(5) BSD File Formats Manual MSDOSFS(5)
NAME
msdosfs -- MS-DOS file system
SYNOPSIS
options MSDOSFS
DESCRIPTION
The msdosfs driver will permit the FreeBSD kernel to read and write MS-DOS based file systems.
The most common usage follows:
mount -t msdosfs /dev/ada0sN /mnt
where N is the partition number and /mnt is a mount point. Some users tend to create a /dos directory for msdosfs mount points. This helps
to keep better track of the file system, and make it more easily accessible.
It is possible to define an entry in /etc/fstab that looks similar to:
/dev/ada0sN /dos msdosfs rw 0 0
This will mount an MS-DOS based partition at the /dos mount point during system boot. Using /mnt as a permanent mount point is not advised
as its intention has always been to be a temporary mount point for floppy and ZIP disks. See hier(7) for more information on FreeBSD direc-
tory layout.
