Dear Jackson Donadel,

I am afraid FreeBSD 4.x no longer supports bad144.

The concise official recommendation, found in /usr/src/UPDATING, says:

<blockquote>
19991203:
	BAD144 support has been removed. Cope or replace the hardware.
</blockquote>



From my personal mail archive:

You don't. Modern IDE drives handle remapping of bad blocks=20
themselves. If
you do get bad blocks that is a sure sign that the disk is nearing the=20
end
of its life. Make a backup of it and get a new disk.
If you are using some older drive that doesn't handle remapping of bad
blocks itself you will have to run 3.x which has bad144.

There is no replacement for bad144 in 4.x=20
