I had to hand type this into another computer so I hope that I got it
correct. The relevant parts of dmesg are:

ncr0: at pci0 dev 6 function 0: ncr 53c810 fast10 scsi
ncr0:  interrupting at isa irq 11
ncr0:  minisync=25, maxsync=206, maxoffs=8, 16 dwords burst, normal dma
fifo
ncr0:  single-ended, open drain IRQ driver 
ncr0:  restart (scsi reset).
scsibus0 at ncr0: 8 targets, 8 luns per target
sd0 at scsibus0 targ 0 lun 0: <SEAGATE, AT&T ST51080N-2, 0955> SCSI2
0/direct fixed
sd0(ncr0:0:0): 10.0 MB/s (100 ns, offset 8)
sd0: 238MB, 4826 cyl, 4 heads, 25 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 488283 sectors


It appears to not detect all of the sectors. Is this an indication of a
bad drive?
