If you really wanted to, you'd add idebus=37 to your kernel flags. That
would be done in your LILO, GRUB (or other bootloader) config file.
I can't see it would be any help though, if indeed the BIOS did let you
change it you could end up with a drive that doesn't work at that bus
speed, corrupted data or worse.
