Re-ordering disks on boot

I am running RHEL3.0 update1 and I am having a problem with my disk
ordering.

I recently added a qlogic HBA and allocated some san disk, now when I
boot the machine the hba comes up as /dev/sda and my local disks are
pushed back to /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc. I realize that when the machine
boots it's scans for devices and it's finding the hba first, therefore
labeling this disk /dev/sda, however I can't find where I can force this
device to be discovered last.

>From a support perspective I need to be able to force redhat to
recognize my local disks as /dev/sda and /dev/sdb and my san disk as
/dev/sdc. I have tried this through modules.conf, however, I am not
having much luck.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Joe-
