I have a server I don't have physical access to right now, which has a broken 
SATA disk that produces mostly errors (but not entirely).

The disk has two partitions that are part of a zpool each. I can't bring the 
system up with this disk being online, because ZFS is trying its darndest to 
use it.

I already renamed the GPT partitions in the hope that ZFS would not find them 
anymore, but it does.

I can't gpart destroy -f ada1 because "device busy".

Is there a way, ideally in the loader, to tell the kernel to ignore ada1 and/or 
ahcich5? Or can I force ZFS some other way to ignore the disk? I do have a 
spare disk I can use to replace the failed one, but I can't get the machine 
into a state where I could even issue the zpool replace command.
