Hi.
I did that by adding
boot_mesg "Optimizing hd..."
hdparm -q -d1 -q -c3 -q -m16 /dev/hda
evaluate_retval
to /etc/rc.d/init.d/sysctl because it's the last script run in sysinit runlevel.
If those settings work for you, it's ok to use them. In fact the LFS livecd
uses similar settings too automatically.
About upgrading I have no clue, as I use 6.6...
