I have to install FreeBSD on a machine with fair amount of bad sectors.
And please, please, don't tell me to get a new hard drive, as this HD is 
not modern and buying a new hd is just not an option.

I've searched many documents but none state definitely how it has to be 
done. This is just an old IDE drive.

I know e2 file system offers good bad sector protection. Can I use ext2 in 
BSD? Can BSD make and manage e2 fs?
