Hrm. Don't you need a probe-scsi-all to actually make OpenBoot hand
it off to a booted OS properly? (Been a while since I've dealt with
anything but Sun-preinstalled SCSI drives on a Sun box... we mostly
just use the FCAL array. ;^>)

Failing that, are you sure this disk autostarts?

On the Linux side... are you sure you don't just need to make the
device nodes? Use MAKEDEV(8); it lives in /dev. (This seems like
something you'd have thought of already, though.)
