As a trivial observation, you did #dd if=/dev/arandom of=/dev/sd0c bs=1m instead of as instructed in faq
#dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/rsd0c bs=1m While the diference between /dev/random and /dev/arandom might not be important (I'm not knowledgeable enought to say if it is or isn't), ommiting 'r' from the name of device means that you operated on a device instead on a raw device. The output reported the end of device. Man dd isn't explicit, but leads me to believe it wasn't the desired result of the operation. In the case you want to test it, you might better choose an usb stick to save time. Mind, I have no experience with this and you might better wait for someone better versed, or ask on @misc.
