We often used U5 maschines together with the 2 channel SCSI Controller from Sun and replaced the IDE Disk with a SCSI one. All maschines bootet Solaris 7 and 8 from SCSI just fine. But you need the Sun version of the controller because of the open firmware bios. The first important point is if probe-scsi-all of the rom-monitor finds the controller and devices.
