Well, the "use DMA for ide drives[yes]: " question already defaults to "yes", so by default dma will be on. Currently, when the user answers "no" to this question in vmware, dma will still be on regardless. I think it either should be off when the user explicitly requests this, or the question shouldn't be asked at all (for vmware). However, aux/vmware is run from termrc before the "use DMA for ide drives[yes]: " question is asked, so some stuff may have to be moved around if we want dma to be on or aff according to the user's reply.
