newfs hangs

Hi,
        I got in 2 new 9gb disk, ST410800N (Seagate Elite9).
I got one of them up and running without any problems the other one
hangs with the newfs command. I'm running Digital Unix 2.0 on
a DEC 3000/300. This is what happens:

# /sbin/newfs /dev/rrz3d <--- this is the command I used
Warning: 1331 sector(s) in last cylinder unallocated
/dev/rrz3d: 4096000 sectors in 1141 cylinders of 27 tracks, 133 sectors
        2097.2MB in 72 cyl groups (16 c/g, 29.42MB/g, 6784 i/g)
super-block backups (for fsck -b #) at:

this looks okay to me but it has taken 24 minutes to get:
 32, 57632, 115232, 172832, 230432, 288032, 345632, 403232, 460832,

        I eventually have to ctrl/c out of it. I checked the error log (uerf)
and it did register errors but not every time I try to newfs the disk. (I
have included a sample of uerf output and disklabel info below).
        My questions are:
        1). What steps do I take to confirm that the disk is bad
before returning it to manufacturer? This disk is recognized by the
system, I can access the disklabel information and it compares with my
other 9gb disk.
        2). Do you think formatting the disk would help?
        3). How do you format disks on an alpha? About how long will it take?

Thank you,
