I don’t want devc-par to run at boot time because I want to take control of
the parallel port hardware for other reasons than printing. Is there a
“nopar” option I can add to a startup script that will preclude the driver
from starting?
Create or modify /etc/rc.d/rc.local script file ( do not forget to change
mode to a+x) where you can simply slay devc-par. I hope it helps.

In this case you should create your own .boot image and load required
drivers, execute your own scripts, start your own application etc. I have a
few tested examples to share if you like.

I’ve read about this and essentially do this now manually. What I’d like to
know is how to control the enum_devices procedure because eventually my
target platform will may not even have space for devc-par.

Given where I am with 6.1, examples, especially tested ones, are always
welcome. One of the items on my to-do list is building custom boot images.
Thank you Janusz.

How about a more standard way within the enumerator setup…
/etc/system/enum/devices/char
This defines the enumerators for serial and parallel and is where they
are started.
Option 1: Comment out the startup commands and replace them with a null.
Option 2: I believe you can define in an “oem” directory overrides - define
the
parallel printer (copy the definition) and define a null entry.
