If my netbsd system is up for about 24 hours at a time it 
gives a "hard error" message specifying the offending sector
of the hard disk and then promptly proceeds to lock the system
up.

I've read that this can happen at any time and there are commands
on other unix systems like bad144 that should be used to correct
them. I've tried using those commands but have been having no
luck.

Can someone answer this or point me in the right direction?

Please excuse if this is a FAQ.
