BSD equivalent of rmmod
In Linux if you want to get rid of the PC speaker (beep!) without rebooting you can type
rmmod pcspkr
I'm looking for a way to remove (if possible) the BSD equivalent of the "pcspkr" module.
I scrolled quickly through GENERIC and didn't see any entries that looked conspicuously like the PC speaker.
Is it in there? Did I miss it?

I use GNU (parted)set to change boot flags when doing multibooting.
Alas, FreeBSD does not have GNU parted, out of the box.
Is there a way to set/remove flags quickly and easily from the command line in BSD? I'm still learning all the 'unique' BSD utilities. (7 Replies)

RMMOD(8) rmmod RMMOD(8)
NAME
rmmod - Simple program to remove a module from the Linux Kernel
SYNOPSIS
rmmod [-f] [-s] [-v] [modulename]
DESCRIPTION
rmmod is a trivial program to remove a module (when module unloading support is provided) from the kernel. Most users will want to use
modprobe(8) with the -r option instead.
OPTIONS
-v, --verbose
Print messages about what the program is doing. Usually rmmod prints messages only if something goes wrong.
-f, --force
This option can be extremely dangerous: it has no effect unless CONFIG_MODULE_FORCE_UNLOAD was set when the kernel was compiled. With
this option, you can remove modules which are being used, or which are not designed to be removed, or have been marked as unsafe (see
lsmod(8)).
-s, --syslog
Send errors to syslog instead of standard error.
-V --version
Show version of program and exit.
