One of our machines crashed last night.  It was repeating the message (as
dictated to me):

WD0s2
WD0
WD unwedge failed
status 80 <BUSY>
error 80 <BAD BLK>
WD start: Timeout writing to give common ????
FSBN 261440 of 261440-261455
(WD0s2 BN 476672; CN 236 TN 14 SN 14)

The operater tried to reboot and got:
Failure: cannont read blk 19904
and a lot of other 'Failed' messages and then it came up in single user mode.

So the question is: What can be done?  Is there a FreeBSD program to scan
and fix the bad blocks?  Can we run tar and/or transfer files to the floppy
disk in single user mode?  Can we ftp over the local ethernet?


Thanks
Charlie Reese
