> OK, I;ve looked and looked and can't seem to figure out how to set
hw.ata.wc to enabled. I've put and a few other things in
/etc/sysctl.conf, the others get set, hw.ata.wc doesn't. You can't
change it by hand either as sysctl tells you it's readonly. Grepping in
/sys/i386/conf has turned up nothing and neither has grepping /boot.
 

Have you tried specifying it in /boot/loader.conf ?
hw.ata.wc="1"
