Hi

I just recently bought my first soekris 4801, decided to put a 2.5"  
E5410 hitachi harddrive in.
When i installed first time i noticed a strange sound comming from  
the harddrive, but i carried on with the install.
i got the following errors when formatting the harddrive with the  
openbsd installer:

-- 5-6 of these.

I decided to return the harddrive and got a replacement. Now my new  
drive does excatly the same.
Anyone ideas?
