I'm having troubles installing OpenBSD 5.5 (amd64) on a mSATA SSD card

I've made several attempts, using install55.fs copied to an SD card,
with
both 5.5-release and 5.5-current (June 6th snapshot).
Most attempts have failed, either during the install (filesystem
creation
phase or during the sets extraction phase) or during the first boot
after
the initial install (case reported in this message).
I wonder if I have a faulty SSD unit.
Does the mSATA drive have the new firmware, or is it one of the
"problem" drives from earlier?
If you have a null modem serial cable handy, you could try PXE booting
and then installing the OS to the SD Card instead of the mSATA drive to
at least rule out any other issues. Then try the same process and
install to the mSATA card and see if you have the same problem again.
