I have a TS-7250 with 2 bad blocks in the redboot partition. When I try
to write the kernel image ("fis create" command) it fails, because there
are some bad blocks. It seems that my redboot isn't able to skip bad
blocks, even if you say that it should.

Can you give more information, please?
How can I skip bad blocks?
