Of course the actual error messages are in /var/log/messages:

Dec 12 21:29:19 phluffy /kernel: wd2s2e: hard error writing fsbn 599760 of 59976

...and so on.  I also get things like this:

Dec 12 22:20:18 phluffy /kernel: vnode_pager_input: I/O read error
Dec 12 22:20:18 phluffy /kernel: vm_fault: pager input (probably hardware) error
, PID 238 failure
Dec 12 22:20:18 phluffy /kernel: pid 238: make: uid 0: exited on signal 11

My swap partition is on wd0, so it seems to affect both drives...
