- Hello,
- I just got sls from tsx-11 today, and prepared things and dove
- in to install on my hard disks.
-
- Things seems sensible except that bad blocks on the hard disks
- aren't mapped to a forwarding area. This makes installation nearly
- impossible, since my disks have many bad blocks. Is there
- an 'fsck' on the a1/a2 disks that can locate and deal with bad
- blocks so that I may proceed with installation? If not,
- what am I supposa do?
-
- Waiting anxiously,
- rob
