Adding a "di al0" statement to /boot/kernel.conf should disable the 
al driver so it doesn't get in the way, but if your kernel doesn't 
have the pn driver, that still won't help.  If that is the case, 
you will need to build a new kernel with the pn driver included, and 
the al driver excluded.

See http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html if you 
haven't done it before.

Reading the GENERIC config file (/usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC, 
or something like that) should tell you what drivers are in 
the default kernel on the release you are using.
