Make sure you've got initrd-tools >= 0.1.10. Then create these files
(watch out for the tabs):
--/etc/mkinitrd/exe--
/bin/mount
/bin/umount
--/etc/mkinitrd/scripts/dma (must be executable)--
#!/bin/sh
cd $INITRDDIR
mkdir proc
cat > scripts/dma.sh <<- EOF
mount -nt proc proc /proc
echo using_dma:0 > /proc/ide/hda/settings
echo using_dma:0 > /proc/ide/hdb/settings
umount -n /proc
EOF
