/ "Jesse Sarnovsky" <jsarnov_at_exobrain.com> was heard to say:

Yes, this gets me back to working, but what I really want is to avoid
having the thing crash again. I'll be on the road for two weeks with
no laptop, just the ipaq. It's a bit hard to run commands on the iPAQ
without a serial terminal :-/

I was hoping there was something I could run that would grovel over
the whole disk, identify bad sectors, and mark them as unusable so
this would stop happening.
