The instructions say to use ad0 and ad1 as the /dev names but those
devices don't exist on my server. The device names are da0 and da1. I'd
be glad to post anything you wish, but I don't know what the dmesg is,
or how I get it. Can you tell me where I can get that information?

I didn't double check that. I'll follow through the instructions again
and make the correct change this time and
Ok, I made the correction and I'm still getting these errors:
mail# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da0 bs=512 count=79
dd: /dev/da0: Operation not permitted
