I put the following into my rc.conf:

/sbin/atacontrol mode acd0 2>&1 | /usr/bin/grep PIO > /dev/null 2>&1 \

Do not put this in rc.conf. It will be executed again each time a
script in /etc/rc.d source rc.conf to obtain the configuration
variables.
Hence the check, weather the drive is in PIO mode or not. The way I
understand the rc(8) manual page, the same is true for rc.local.

As I learned some years ago, rc.conf is for configuration
variable-setting, not executable code. Ref. (from rc.conf(5)):
Why care about correctly implementing a sloppy solution? I'd rather have a
good solution correctly implemented. For me that means offering the
possibility to tweak the ata mode for each device in the /boot/device.hints file.
