That's hardly an error you could expect to be fixed by using another
disktab entry.  (Btw., disktab should probably completely go away.)

Parity errors heavily smell like a cabling problem, which becomes more
apparent when you drive the bus at full speed, while the host adapter
formatting probably runs at a lower speed.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
