Hello,
The original problem;

> IPC w/207Mb, 24 Mb RAM, SunOS4.1.1
>
> How Bad off is this disk?
> Can I fix it?
> Error:
>
> sd0a: Error for command `Read'
> " " Error Level: Retryable
> " " Block 5312: Absolute Block 5323
> " " Sense Key: Media Error
> " " Vendor 'Maxtor' error code 0x16

The answers is to boot from a Mini-root (MUNIX)
and run the 'format' command.
Since The bad block is provided, (use the absolute number)
format/repair <block #> would have worked very well.

Thanks to everyone for the help.
