I think I have an answer as to why I cannot boot using my Sun branded
Symbios SCSI controller --
http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/Devices/SCSI/SCSI_Dual_UltraSCSI_PCI.html

I have the 375-0005 part which does not have the FCode.  AFAIK this is
required to boot from OpenBoot.  The version of the card with FCode was
never released according to that document.  :-(

Considering this was a $500 card, \me kicks Sun *hard*!
