- My system is now working fine with swap partitions on both disks.
- My problem turned out to be related to my specification of the sf
- flag in the disktab entry for my second disk. Or, at least, when
- I removed this flag, and re-disklabeled the disk it began working.
- There is obviously alot that I don't know about bad block handling
- with bad144. I have both of my (ESDI) disks formated with sector
- sparing so that they present an error-free view to the system.
