Hi again,
Currently running 2.2.1-RELEASE

I am currently planning on doing a complete re-install from floppy disks
because of ongoing hard drive problems before resorting to pulling the
drive and having it tested.
Q: Should I follow the instructions for preparing the partition on the
hard drive as described under ESDI in the handbook.
(primarily regarding the topic of bad block sectoring)
Thanks, _______________________________________
