Could you please again explain what your point is?

You want to have the Promise controller to address to hda up to hdd? For
cosmetic reasons only? Alan answered that already: hda-hdd are reserved
and thus additional controllers address different to not conflict. If
you want to minimize bootup time, causing the system not to check for
disks on then legacy controller ports, just check your motherboard BIOS
settings. Normally each BIOS has a setting where you can enable and
disable the onboard controller channels (primary and secondary).
