Aaron,
An somewhat easier way to find out:
~$ hdparm /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
multcount = 16 (on)
I/O support = 1 (32-bit)
unmaskirq = 1 (on)
using_dma = 1 (on)
keepsettings = 0 (off)
nowerr = 0 (off)
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead = 8 (on)
geometry = 7297/255/63, sectors = 117231408, start = 0
busstate = 1 (on)
And, as another poster pointed out when correcting me about Red Hat,
the best way to run this on Debian on boot up is to install the
hwtools package and edit /etc/init.d/hwtools.
Good luck!
Cheers!
Shyamal
