[U-Boot] Uboot-Environment at bad block

In one of my devices, uboot-environment is located at a bad block.
"save
Saving Environment to NAND...
Erasing Nand...
Skipping bad block at 0x000c0000
Writing to Nand... FAILED!"
In my memory mapping I have already reseverd 2blocks.
How can I setup uboot in a way, that it will look at c0000 or (in case
of bad block) at the next block e0000?
In my configs file I found somewhat like:
#define CONFIG_ENV_SIZE (128 << 10) /* 128 KiB */
#define SMNAND_ENV_OFFSET 0xC0000 /* environment starts here */
#define CONFIG_SYS_ENV_SECT_SIZE boot_flash_sec
in mem.c of my processor I found:
f_sec = (128 << 10); /* 128 KiB */
/* env setup */
boot_flash_base = base;
boot_flash_off = f_off;
boot_flash_sec = f_sec;
uboot is based on 2010.03 release.
Maybe someone can give me an advice?
Thanks

PS:
Move the base address of environment is not an option, as in next
device the bad block might be on exact this location.
Environment itself is just 2kB, but a block is 128k. Can I decrease
the environment to that size and still use access from linux (via
fw_printenv)?
