Date: Sat, 08 Jul 1995 10:49:20 GMT Organization: Corporate Information Systems Lines: 7 Message-ID: <3tlo6p$k0e@gate2.internet-eireann.ie> NNTP-Posting-Host: wing.cis-net.ie X-Newsreader: Forte Free Agent v0.55 Tried to install FreeBSD on a 645MB ESDI attached to an UltraStor Ultra-12 ESDI controller. It basically failed on performing newfs encountering i/o error on the way. The reason I think is to do with the bad sectors on the HD. So the question is: Anybody knows how to low level format the ESDI?
