Please, insert the following at the asterisk mark:

		scsi -f /dev/rworm0.ctl -c "0 0 0 0 0 0" >/dev/null 2>&1

This is a dummy SCSI command (TEST UNIT READY) serving as a catcher
for the potential UNIT ATTENTION condition that might still be pending
in your drive at this time.  Some day i will fix the driver to do this
for you...  Danger will robinson if you forget to catch it (since the
wormcontrol prepdisk will fail then).

And yep, don't forget to install the team(1) first (it's available as
a package now)!  Most likely, you are required to have /usr/local/bin
in your path as well.
