Actually, if you just want to probe for DMA capability on a drive use the flag
0x2000.

example:
diskwd0 at wdc0 drive 0 flags 0x2000
(this option will probe for DMA capability on device wd0, which corresponds to
the master IDE device on the first IDE controller, I believe)

Like Mark, I'm not sure if this extends to UDMA support.

type 'man 4 wd' for a better explanation of the wd drivers and their
capabilities.
