I grepped my /etc/rc.d (5.1-R) for 'atacontrol' and did a quick search of the archives, but both came up empty, so I'm guessing there isn't. I'm quite happy to write up an rc script for it, but I figured I'd double check so I don't write it for nothing. :) The reason I'm asking is that I have a couple of IDE CDROM drives that I want to enable DMA on (yes, they grok DMA).
