Yeah.  DMA helps a lot on venti formatting.
However, I saw this ominous message on my console when
installing another tip9ug host on VMware ESX 3.0 Server
which only supports Buslogic SCSI adaptor.

	init: starting /bin/rc
	echo: write error: bad process or channel control request
	echo: write error: bad process or channel control request

I guess someone tried to turn DMA on for the SCSI drive and failed.
