=46reeBSD 4.x supports device.hints?  I thought that was a 5.x feature.

Change the flags parameter in the kernel config file, and recompile the=20
kernel.

=46rom what I know of 4.x, the only way to change device flags is to=20
recompile the kernel.  5.x has the handy device.hints file and you can set=
=20
hints via /boot/loader.conf (preferred as device.hints is overwritten=20
during installworld).
