I recently upgraded to 4.2-RELEASE on my trusty P-90 Laptop.  The 
system came to a deadlock when I ejected a PCMCIA Modem, and
when I brought it back up, it wanted to fsck, so I let it.  When it got to
/usr though, it started going ape:

ad0: HARD READ ERROR blk# 3725983 status=5b error=40
/dev/ad0s1f: CANNOT READ: BLK 3407936
/dev/ad0s1f: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTANCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.
...
...
THE FOLLOWING FILE SYSTEM HAD AN UNEXPECTED INCONSISTANCY:
	/dev/ad0s1f (/usr)
...

So I ran fsck manually on ad0s1f:

** /dev/ad0s1f
** Last Mounted on /usr
** Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes
ad0: HARD READ ERROR blk# 3725983 status=5b error=01

CANNOT READ: BLK 3407936
CONTINUE? yes

ad0: HARD READ ERROR blk# 3725996 status=5b error=40
THE FOLLOWING DISK SECTORS COULD NOT BE READ: 3408013,
** Phase 2 - Check Pathnames
** Phase 3 - Check Connectivity
** Phase 4 - Check Reference Counts
** Phase 5 - Check Cyl Groups
105960 files, 1093814 used, 791692 free (54116 frags, 92197 blocks, 2.9%
fragmentation)

***** FILE SYSTEM STILL DIRTY *****

***** PLEASE RERUN FSCK *****



Okay, obviously my hard drive is having issues.  I re-run fsck and get the
same errors
on the same blocks every time.  Is there any way to tell the filesystem to
"ignore" 
certain bad blocks, or am I just up a creek here?
