I have 386 BSD at the 0.1 patchlevel running with an old ESDI disk with
numerous badspots which I have locked out using bad144 sector remapping.

Has anyone installed FreeBSD onto such a system, and are there any
pointers?  I have FreeBSD running on another system (SCSI) and know about
the 386 BSD to FreeBSD upgrade script.

The disk is old, but it's 660MB and works reliably once the badspots are
locked out.
