You can use the /proc filesystem for the DMA and other things; I use this at the end of my /etc/conf.d/local.start:
# Performance settings for DVD
echo "using_dma:1" > /proc/ide/hdc/settings
echo "io_32bit:1" > /proc/ide/hdc/settings
echo "unmaskirq:1" > /proc/ide/hdc/settings
echo "keepsettings:1" > /proc/ide/hdc/settings
# Performance settings for CD/RW
echo "using_dma:1" > /proc/ide/hdd/settings
echo "io_32bit:1" > /proc/ide/hdd/settings
echo "unmaskirq:1" > /proc/ide/hdd/settings
echo "keepsettings:1" > /proc/ide/hdd/settings
