disks...)

The classic MacOS doesn't track bus numbers internally anyway. It's
just a fundamental issue with the SCSI manager implementation that
Apple used. It only knows about device IDs. Since the ROM includes
chunks of the MacOS to do its own work, the limitation carries over
for the boot sequence.
