	I have a machine that is showing some periodic SCSI
errors.  I'm pretty sure it is a disk with a few bad blocks
on it, as I had this problem with it once before.  The exact
error is:

sd1(ahc0:1:0): MEDIUM ERROR info:0x37c2ce asc:11,0 Unrecovered read error

	When i had this problem before I reformated the disk and
it went away.  I don't want to do that this time. :-)  Back in
my DECStation (ultrix) days "rzdisk" could be used to remap a
bad block while the system was up and running.  I'd like to do 
this on my FreeBSD-Stable box, but I'm running into a few problems.
First, the error doesn't seem to include a block number or something
else I could hand to another program to identify the block.  Second,
I can't find the right program.  scsi(8) is the only thing that 
looks close, but MAKEDEV doesn't seem to know how to make the
"super scsi" device it wants.

	So, oh great SCSI gurus out there.  Is what I want possible?
Can someone help tell me how?
