Add the line to the end of rc.local in the /etc/rc.d/ directory
with any text editor (as root). I like to use 'mc'. Start an Xterm,
type 'cd /etc/rc.d', then 'mc'. Scroll down to the file 'rc.local' and
press <F4>. This opens the file for editing. Add your hdparm line to
the end of the file and press <F2> to save. <F10> exits 'mc'. Now,
while your still in the dir, /etc/rc.d/, type './rc.local' which runs
rc.local and the hdparm line you just added. No need to reboot, but
when you do reboot the machine in the future, the hdparm line will be
run (as is everything in rc.local) on boot up.
