I think the stuff from http://www.netcon.com works pretty well, and I've
tested it on some of the Sun boxes here (never tried the FreeBSD
version, for some reason :-). It seems to work well, and there's the
added bonus that since the server daemon runs in user mode it can see
ALL drives that the UNIX system sees, including the NFS and CDROM
volumes.  One runs out of drive letters quickly. :-)
