 The driver attempts to set the maximum performance transfer mode on your disk
 drives by selecting the highest possible DMA mode.
 ATAPI devices are left in PIO mode because DMA problems are common despite the
 device specifications.

-To see the devices' current access modes, use the command line:
-.Pp
-.Dl sysctl hw.atamodes

-which results in the modes of the devices being displayed as a string

-.Dl hw.atamodes: dma,pio,---,pio,dma,---,dma,---,   (--- = no device)
-.Pp
-This means that ata0-master is in DMA mode,
-ata0-slave is in PIO mode,
-and so forth.
-You can set the mode with sysctl -w and a string like the above,
-for example:
-.Pp
-.Dl sysctl -w hw.atamodes=pio,pio,---,dma,pio,---,dma,---,

-The new modes are set as soon as the sysctl command returns.
