I mostly get what you are talking about here, but I'm not sure what this
means in my situation. Sorry.

When I try that sysctl command I get this:

# sysctl hw.ata.atapi_dma=3D1
sysctl: oid 'hw.ata.atapi_dma' is read only

The same thing shows up at boot when I have the 'hw.ata.atapi_dma=3D1'
part in /etc/sysctl.conf

Charles, I appreciate all your help so far, and I hope that I'm not
frustrating you too much.

Thanks,
Chris
