There is no 'option', this is hardcoded in drivers/scsi/sd.c.

sd.c:           sprintf(gd->disk_name, "sd%c", 'a' + index % 26);
sd.c:           sprintf(gd->disk_name, "sd%c%c",
sd.c:           sprintf(gd->disk_name, "sd%c%c%c",

And you should not be changing this in that place.

Well I prefer libata over oldide since the scsi stack is loaded anyway.
