	Hi,

one of my NetBSD 1.2 systems has a bad block on one of its hard disks:

Jul 12 15:38:51 jehova /netbsd: wd0e: hard error reading fsbn 227651 of 227648-227679 (wd0 bn 338915; cn 557 tn 6 sn 31)

Because I don't have time to replace that harddisk in the next few weeks
I would like to know if there's a way to tell the filesystem not to touch
that block again. For now I renamed the file with the bad block in it
to keep the space occupied and redownloaded it.
