Hello Folks,

I got this error message and am confused which incantation of fsck to run
to remove the problem.

Oct  6 18:03:15 turtle /386bsd: sd1(aha0:1:0): non-media hardware failure,
info = 1840553 (decimal)

When I run fsck it tells me that block 1840553 is bad then to run fsck 
manually, but what switches do I need to use to remove this block so the
system doesn't attempt to write to it?  The drive is a Seagate ST12400N

Robert
