It seem that you have the hdparm package installed but not the hwtools
package.  If you install it you can set up /etc/init.d/hwtools to
retain the hdparm settings.  Like

    if command -v hdparm >/dev/null 2>&1; then
        hdparm -q -m32 -a266 -A1 -c3 -d1 -u1 -W0 -S242 /dev/hda
        hdparm -q -m16 -a256 -A1  -c3 -d1 -u1 -W0 -S220 /dev/hdb
        hdparm -q -d1   /dev/hdc
        true
        fi
        echo " hdparm"

Hope this is what you were looking for.
