Look at hdparm.  Read the docs but I think puting something like hdparm -d1
/dev/xxx in /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh should do it.  Run this command at your
own risk...

does your kernel have (U)DMA support for your chipset?
BTW: there's a kernel option Use DMA by default when available...
if it doesn't get turned on automatically and your kernel supports it,
use hdparm.
