Hi folks,

	I got a freebe used-disk and put it in my system. Everything 
worked during the disklabel & newfs parts. Now however, I am having 
problems with moving the source tree onto the new disk. Yep, I'm using 
tar. 

	After untaring for a good long while, the kernel consistently
panics with the following message: 

> ahb0: board not responding
> Debugger ("aba1742") called.
> panic: panic for historical reasons.
.... some more of the same....

	Could this because by the kernel writing onto a bad sector? 
"Historical reasons" doesn't give me much to go on. If I do have bad 
sectors, how do I mark them. bad144 complains about a bad magic pack 
number and there is no man page.

thanks,
	Adrian
