If you have to have things unplugged, a way to avoid problems during
OS upgrades is to RMKill them instead. RMKill works by module Name,
uplug by number, which is what causes the problems when numbers
change.
I used to need to replace certasin modules (I can't now remember
which), and had a file in boot.predesk which contained a number of
RMKill <module_name> lines. That ran at each boot, and worked during
changes of OS. It's particularly useful when testing softloads, as the
unplug problem shows up both when starting to use a softload, and when
switching back to ROM.
