	I haven't looked up hdparm. But the fact that the BIOS has
this feature is irrelevant since linux (at least the one I installed)
makes a point of not using the BIOS code. The reason is that linux
allegedly provides its own more efficient 32-bit BIOS code. In fact I
was specifically told that linux did a much better job of power saving
when installing it. People have been known to call linux "broken"
because it doesn't use BIOS.
