        Aha, that seems to be it; I had slapped that into my rc.local
        with some other sysctl's (before I found out about
        /etc/sysctl.conf), and that one is read-only by that stage of
        loading. Had to be in /boot/loader.conf to 'take'.

This and many other things are documented in the Handbook.

True. The handbook states hw.ata.atapi_dma="1" should be in
/boot/loader.conf, however, what about hw.ata.ata_dma? It is set to "1"
on my fbsd-4.11-stable box but I can not find where is is set.

Probably just a default when you built your kernel (because IIRC you can specify defaults for your sysctl in the kernel config somewhere). Put hw.ata.ata_dma="0" in your sysctl.conf file if you _really_ want it turned off.
