I had the same problem. My solution was to edit /etc/conf.d/local and
add the command into the local_start() function (before the return):
local_start() {
# This is a good place to load any misc programs
# on startup (use &>/dev/null to hide output)
hdparm -B 254 /dev/sd[abcdef]
# We should always return 0
return 0
}
and it automatically "fixes" my drives when I reboot.
