Hi all,

(please first be informed that I am not a subscriber of this list, so please reply to bc@agoron.com.)

I am getting errors like those that follow in my daily security check, as well as popping up on the screen. What is causing these to occur and how can I fix them. To me it seems like a hard disk error, are there any programs like Scandisk for Win 95 built into FreeBSD 2.2.1? And if so what commands must I execute to run them.

Thanks in advance, and happy holidays to all, Bernard Courtney palm kernel log messages:

Your hard disk has developed a bad sector or is going south on you. Check your cabling and interrupts. If this started happening out of the blue, you need a new disk.
