Well, hdparam is used (at least that's what I used) and
the man page is a good place to start reading about it.
It gave me enough info to see what needed to be done and
even be able to ask questions. Yes, it isn't a one step
process but a knowledge of the man page is a could place
to start. I used hdparam from the command line to figure
out info about my drive and turn it on.

IMO, this is the wrong advice, as it won't remove the
message without
re-ordering the boot process, adjusting the kernel, if
possible, to activate
DMA during drive detection would however, see my other
post.
