Subject: [386BSD] Running bad144 from floppy?

How does one run "bad144" from the Fixit bootable floppy?  I am trying
to salvage an old MFM drive, but can't get bad144 to run.  Already ran
disklabel and newfs, but "bad144 wd0 0" complains when run from the
Fixit floppy, something about "label: ...".

Do I need to mount /dev/wd0a prior to running "bad144"?  How do I get this
thing to run?  Once I do, then I can install the bindist and read man
pages like a normal user!
