man ata seems like the logical place to look.
The following tunables are setable from the loader:
hw.ata.ata_dma
set to 1 for DMA access, 0 for PIO (default is DMA).
hw.ata.atapi_dma
set to 1 for DMA access, 0 for PIO (default is PIO).
hw.ata.wc
set to 1 to enable Write Caching, 0 to disable (default is enabled)
(WARNING might cause data loss on power failures)
hw.ata.tags
set to 1 to enable Tagged Queuing support, 0 to disable (default is dis-
abled) (only IBM DPTA and DTLA drives support that)
