The man page indicates that I can set assorted variables in this file,
so perhaps I could put in a line such as:

   hw.ata.ata_dma=0

If so, the sysctl.conf(5) man page should be amended to indicate the
fact.  Nonetheless, as I already have a kernel which has the variable
turned off, this wouldn't buy me anything.

What I'm really looking for is a way to use a different ATA controller.
