i'm not exactly sure how to accomplish this... i'm having problems with

booting the system. i've erased the fstab lines for acd0 but it's still
probing the hardware when i boot the machine. how do i completely
disable probing for this device at startup? if possible i'd like to
just remove the device node altogether. every time i remove /dev/acd0
it's just recreated each time i restart. not sure how to permanently
remove it without physically removing it from the system. is there
anyway to remove the node without removing the iso9660 entry from the
kernel?
Is it possible to disable it in BIOS?
i was thinking more along the lines of telling the loader not to probe
for it...
Not sure if this will work but if the CD-ROM device is on a separate
ATA controller, you can try to disable with with corresponding
"disabled" statement in /boot/device.hints, like
hint.ata.1.disabled="1"
i thought about this but the ad0 and acd0 are on the same controller...
i think. is there some hardware probe i can use to confirm which
controller each ata device belongs to (corresponding to the device.hints
entry...)
