Message-ID: <C27p5x.Kt3@nmrdc1.nmrdc.nnmc.navy.mil> Date: 10 Feb 93 02:49:08 GMT Organization: Naval Medical Research & Development Command Lines: 20 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. -- ============================================================================== phil perucci | "Any opinions expressed are my views, dsc3pzp@nmrdc1.nmrdc.nnmc.navy.mil | not the position of any organization" ==============================================================================
