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.

Greetings, Sander.
