You will have to follow the README.freebsd example for creating an fdi
file, and merge the property storage.media_check_enabled with a value of
FALSE to tell hald to stop polling this device for media changes (use a
unique identifier for this device as the match criterion).  The downside
is that auto-mounting will no longer work for this device.  It
essentially will turn it into a floppy drive.
