I've never hooked the thing up to a FreeBSD box before. I've got about 10 blanks laying here, but at $15 per blank I'm afraid of wasting $150 to find out that I used the wrong 'disklabel' option, or the wrong 'newfs' parameter. I would be very willing to test out the worm code if someone is in for a small amount of hand holding. :) -Mark Taylor mtaylor@cybernet.com
