    hdparm -d1 /dev/hdb

    UDMA2 was 'on' by default for the DVD-ROM.

    The video and audio playback is improved but DVD playback is still skipping
    frames and audio is 'clicking' and it's slightly out of sync with the video
    during playback.

    I think the DVD decoding is too demanding on my 600 Mhz CPU.
    Since top is reporting near 100% CPU usage during playback.

    What config file do I add my hdparm command to so it sets the DVD-ROM to
    UDMA2 at boot up? Thanks!
