put that command into

/etc/conf.d/local.start     <i guess>

BTW what is -k1 option for?

Thank you for your assistance...  It is much appreciated.  It was a rather duh moment for me.

Another question...

I've enabled this on my machine manually, but I want it enabled every time I start.  I've added the line to my rc.conf; however, I question if this is the right place...

Are there any guidelines on this?

sounds like a classic case of dma not enabled...

try emerging hdparm, setting dma, and then setting hdparm to run at
boot.
    

hdparm -d1 -c1 -k1 /dev/hdX
