Subject: [386BSD] Bad block handling?

Hi,
I have an ancient Seagate ST-4096 80Meg MFM drive with LOTS of bad blocks.
After reading the "Unofficial 386BSD Bug List", I see that v0.1 has a problem
with bad block handling (INST011) in that reads of multiple blocks fails if the
first block is re-mapped due to a bad block. Question:
Is there a version of the kernel on a "Tiny 386BSD-like" rawriteable
floppy with the patch to fix this?
Any suggestions for how to deal with this (I still don't have 386BSD on my
harddisk - need to run bad144 first) would be appreciated! I will get SCSI
for home use when I can afford it, but the MFM is my only alternative at
work.
