I have a /usr/local/etc/rc.d script that uses 'atacontrol info 1' to
find out if the machine is docked and if there is anything in the
drive bay, if not then it does 'atacontrol detach 1' so I don't have
to remember to do it.

I also detatch 1 when I suspend (from /etc/rc.suspend) so I can
suspend the machine and then undock it.
