Hello. I'm new on this list and I'm having a problem installing the
FreeBSD 2.2.5. The problem is: when bad144 scans the HD for bad
blocks, it says that there are too many bad blocks on the slice and
that it can handle only 126 bad blocks per slice. I tried making three
slices, but the last one always shows this problem. I tried the following
HDs:
Maxtor model 83240D4, 6696 Cyl, 15 Heads, 63 Sectors
Seagate model ST3320A, 6253 Cyl, 16 Heads, 63 Sectors

My questions are:
1. Does the bad144 have some kind of incompatibility with these HDs?
2. Is there any problem in continuing the install process, even with the
bad144 warning?
3. Is there another program similar to bad144 that could handle more than
126 bad blocks per slice? I know the badsect but it doesn't does the full
HD test.
Thanks in advance,
