-   Normally the device in the example above would use the `isp(4)` drivers. However, the devices need to be using the `ppt` drivers. In this context, the `ppt` drivers tell the host to ignore the device as it will be pass-through to a virtualized guest. To get a PCI device to load the `ppt` drivers instead of it's normal drivers, edit the `/boot/loader.conf` file to contain the PCI triplet of each device in the `pptdevs` directive. The following is consistent with our examples above:
