You shouldn't need to play games w/ raw devices, I think.
I'd try:
# file -s /dev/sdd?
# file -s /dev/sda?
and see which partitions claim to hold xfs filesystems (I can't recall
offhand how the sgi partitioning works...)
Those *should* just mount right up. If they have dirty irix-format
logs, you'll need to either mount (to replay the log) & unmount cleanly
under irix, or zap it with xfs_repair -L
