You probably have a loose connector or terminator somewhere as a
result of the move, or somebody didn't reinstall something after
the move.

| Jan  5 17:44:02 fuzzy unix: dks0d1s1: Media error: ID CRC or ECC error,.

The media error definitely indicates a problem on the disk.  Since this
was on a write, it is a real media error.  Whether it happened as part
of your move or not would be tough to say.  Since it is in the swap
partition, you could *carefully* run an fx wr-cmp exercise pass
over *just the swap area* to find and spare any bad blocks.  Use
the standalone fx, or run it in single user mode, being careful to
do nothing that would cause any swapping while you do the fx.
