With wd, you had the ability to disable probing via flags in the kernel compile script on a per-device basis. It seems ata may not have this ability. You have to disable dma AFTER probing takes place, via loader.conf or sysctl.conf. The problem is, this probing is a very lengthy process. It lengthens my boot time massively. Is there any way to disable dma probing at startup for a specific drive using the ata driver?
