hdparm permanence

[James William Morris]

One of my ide hard drives has been producing dma time out errors. I emailed the compaq support team about this (among other things) and they pointed me to

http://www.exocore.com/technologies/linux/rhl71dma/
(redhat dma problem)

there it says to permanently disable DMA for a particular drive by adding the following line to /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit

/sbin/hdparm -d0 /dev/hdb

I went to do this but the file + dir structure does not exist in debian.

How is this done?
