Shamus,

If you only have /mnt/kd/rc.conf you would edit that file.  (the directory 
takes precedence if it exists).

You should be able to find the DMA_DEV variable in there. You should uncomment 
it and set it to:

DMA_DEV=/dev/hda

The entire device would be addressed as DMA.

Darrick,

My apologies for the mis-spelling earlier!

Doing an fdisk -l, I see that I have 2 partitions:
  /dev/hda1  FAT16  *boot
  /dev/hda2  Linux

I do not see an rc.conf.d directory in /mnt/kd, I only see a rc.conf file. Is 
this where I should be adding DMA...?

thanks,
   Shamus
