Maybe you can use /boot/device.hints to disable the device you don't want a driver to attach to? Example: hint.ppt.0.disable="YES" You should also be able to add such a statement to /boot/loader.conf because device.hints might get replaced during updates (and it is a system-provided file, while loader.conf usually is a user-spplued file), See "man device.hints", or: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/device-hints.html https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/disable-driver.14402/ -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
