Try probe-scsi-all. sda will be the first disk on one of the scsi interfaces

For me:

{0} ok probe-scsi-all
/sbus@3,0/QLGC,isp@0,10000
Target 0
  Unit 0   Disk     COMPAQ  HD0093172C      3208LJ815478

[...snip...]

Target d
  Unit 0   Disk     COMPAQ  HD0093172C      3208LJ811269
                    Copyright (c) 1998 Seagate
                    All rights reserved
Target e
  Unit 0   Processor     SYMBIOS D1000           2   N.d     SAF-TE1.00
Target f
  Unit 0   Processor     SYMBIOS D1000           2   N.d     SAF-TE1.00

{0} ok boot /sbus@3,0/QLGC,isp@0,10000/sd@0,0

Hope that's useful
