Actually to change the caching parameters, it is very easy:

scsi -f /dev/rsd0 -m 8 -e

or somesuch allows you to edit the mode page similar to
vipw.  It isn't ideal, but works nicely.  It does have
some more arcane capabilities, but they aren't generally
necessary for what is being talked about here.
