Hello,

I got FreeBSD installed on aa PC but was not aware that it had some 
bad sectors (< 64 Kb). Installation seemed to run ok but att 
rebooting fsck detects the bad blocks but does not repair them. 

I entered as : boot -s
...but this did not make any changes.

How to proceed to repair/mark the bad block by fsck? Or better by a 
new harddisk?

Many thanks in advance!
