Hello to all,

I've got two questions that I can't solve and I don't find the right docs
for them:

1. IDE disks bad sectors:
Recently I installed an IDE disk with a lot bad
sectors to experiment a real situation and I get  a lot of errors with
fsck and errors related to the read/write of the damaged sectors.

The question is: what's the best way to solve the bad sectors problem on
IDE disks? There is anyway of "mark" the bad serctor so the OS doesn't
write to them?

2. Secondary master to primary master change

I have a motherboard that have the primary master and slave broken but
it worked with the disk installed on the secundary master interface.
Recently I purchase a new motherboard and installed the disk on the
primary master. My problem is that the FreeBSD stops on single user mode
and it gives the error that it can't mount the rest of the partitions. I
noticed that the slices are like "ad2s1f" and I think that it must be like
"ad0s1f" to work on the primary master.

There is anyway of changing this to work.



I know that this is a newbie question, so I just want to know were I can
find the documentation to learn better this problems.

Thanks vey much,
