I read the answer sometime ago in the forums, but I'm not sure if I
recall corectly, anyways:
You can change the settings for scsi-emulated disks/cdroms in
/proc/ide/hdX/settings. To turn DMA on, you have to echo someting like
echo "using_dma:1" > /proc/ide/hdX/settings and to view your current
settings do a cat /proc/ide/hdX/settings.
But I'd check the forums, there are a lot of threads about that.
Good luck

Felix
