The ispmod driver used is a slightly modified version of the FreeBSD isp driver. The driver is built with target mode enabled but all device hints suggested in the manpage of isp are supported. Also the current behavior of the driver is to enable both target mode and initiator mode. Initiator mode is required, if for access to disks or tape is over fiber channel connected to QLogic cards. If however you are accessing disks or tape without the need for FC connected to QLogic card(s) then it is suggested to disable initiator mode. This can be change by adding a device hint in either the /boot/loader.conf or /boot/device.hints.
For example:
hint.ispmod.0.role="1" would enable target mode only. Note that ispmod.0 specifies the first QLogic adapter, ispmod.1 the second etc.
role can be "1" [target mode only], "2" [ initiator mode only], "3" [both target and initiator mode]
