[SOLVED] how to disable loading of certain modules?

After the system has booted, i do "lsmod" and see all kinds of modules i don't need, i.e. xfs, jfs, all kinds or raid and scsi stuff. I'm sure they kan be removed since "rmmod" can remove them.
I tried to add those to MOD_BLACKLIST in /etc/rc.conf but it didn't help. Where is the correct place to put modules whihch must not be loaded?
This way boot time and memory usage both can be improved.. Or am i wrong here?

those are from your initrd, follow the wiki guide to recompiling your own, if you want to omit some modules
