I've been getting consistent SCSI timeout errors when trying to
install Linux, and finally tracked it down to several bad blocks on my
SCSI disk.  'mkswap' simply fails to work if there is a bad block on
the disk.  Does anyone have a SCSI bad block remapper utility which
runs under either DOS or Linux?  In the latter case, I'd need to put
it on a floppy somehow, I suppose :-) .
