errrrrr

so, i allocated a chunk of this weekend for installing 2.0 on a
second pair of ESDI drives, then to migrate the stuff off of my
existing 1.1.5.1 box, and then maybe bring the old box up under 2.0.

i lowlevel the drives (new controller), and make up a set of new boot disks
from freebsd.cdrom.com:/pub/FreeBSD/2.0-RELEASE/floppies.

grrrrr, there are some bad sectors on the drives, and the newfs's
crap out.

when i installed the 1.1.5.1 boxes, i was able to use bad144 to map
them out.

i understand that bad144 is not totally fixed for 2.0, but i was lead to
beleive that if i was using the whole drive it might work.

but i can't get a damn shell t sheck it out.

grrrr.

anyone have any ideas?

please?

while there is still some of the weekend left?

BTW: the new install stuff looks really snazzy.

i don't suppose someone can come up with an install floppy for those
of us that are not afraid of scrolling, question/answer install scripts?
