To keep everything the same for recovery you might consider buying a replacement IDE drive of like specs and reload the OS onto the new drive. That would allow you to create a new boot/root set of floppies that would work with your old hard drive.
Although it indicates a hard drive error with a bad sector the major problem may be dump files and error logs written to the extent that the hard drive has run out of space. A good boot/root might allow you to attach the bad hard drive and remove the error files and make it bootable again.
Not to say you don't need to replace the hard drive but I would consider that a level 2 priority for the moment.
And a duplicate machine for use in a hardware crash is always a good idea. Preferable with fully duplicate hardware.

One of our Sun E450 machines crashed and has this message in the /var/adm/messages after it rebooted automatically. An extract of the log is below. I suspect it is memory, but I am not sure. Can anyone give me any ideas how to diagnose this correctly?
Thanks

dmxaddscreen
DMXAddScreen(3X) DMXAddScreen(3X)
NAME
DMXAddScreen - attach a new back-end screen
SYNOPSIS
#include <X11/extensions/dmxext.h>
Bool DMXAddScreen(Display *dpy,
const char *displayName,
unsigned int mask,
DMXScreenAttributes *attr,
int *screen);
DESCRIPTION
DMXAddScreen() attaches a back-end screen to the Xdmx(1) server, in place of the previously detached back-end server specified by screen.
displayName is the name of the new back-end display, mask specifies the field in attr that are active, and screen returns the new Xdmx(1)
screen number for the attached screen.
The information stored in mask and attr is identical to that used by the DMXChangeScreenAttributes(3X) and DMXGetScreenAttribues(3X)
functions.
RETURN VALUE
DMXAddScreen() will return True if the screen was successfully attached, and False otherwise. False will be returned if the -addremove-
screens command line option was not specified on the Xdmx(1) command line, the input value of screen is out of range, screen is not cur-
rently detached, displayName cannot be opened, has unexpected visuals, or has characteristics that do not match the previously detached
screen.
DMXAddScreen() can generate BadLength, BadAlloc, and BadValue errors.
NOTES
Attributes that are not specified will default to 0. This may lead to unintended results.
Unlike other functions in the DMX(3X) API, this function uses screen for both input and output.
