I know, I know...believe me, this was a last resort.  Adaptec support is
next to non-existent, and their archives had nothing about creating
bootable ISO CD's using Toast USB.

As soon as USB works on FreeBSD (4.0, I hear?) :)

Chicken-Egg.  I was trying to burn a 3.4 CD (I finally succeeded, thanks
to help from thislist).  I really feel like I need to have a bootable CD
around for any OS I'm running on production servers.

I pre-ordered one last week.
