Speaking on the subject of firewire...

Is there any way to avoid a battle between who gets assigned what node?
Lets say I have a power outage, and the computer and cable box both
automatically turn back on.  Well if the computer comes up first, then the
cable box seems to have a different node then if the cable box comes up
first.  This can make for some ugly difficulties when myth automatically
comes back up, especially if I'm away for a few days.
