My question was this:
What should be passed in on the kernel's command line to
enable IDE disk optimization under Mandrake Linux?
Thanks.

How do you measure harddrive performance?

When the PC known as jogger-egg.com was new in late 1998, I measured
its raw disk read speed. It got about 12 Mb/sec doing large block
sequential reads from /dev/hda. This was about 30% faster than the
1996 vintage SCSI disk on my Octane at work. Cool. Exciting acronyms
like UDMA and ATA/33
