Hi Grub2 Devel team,

I was pleasantly surprised when I saw a hdparm module as part of grub2. So I
tried the -X <transfer mode> parameter as is provided by the linux command
line finding it isn't implemented. eg:

# hdparm -X udma5 /dev/sda

Can the development team consider adding this feature? A number of ppl's
bios is incorrectly setting interfaces to UDMA2/MDMA2, particularly on pata
optical drive interfaces which users are using a 2.5" HDDs instead via an
optical bay caddy. The workaround being to wait for a (slow) Linux/Windows
boot and then typing the above commandline. Doing this at the grub2
bootloader level being more preferable.

Nando
