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.
