Xserves are rare.  I don't know whether anyone else tried to run a
recent version of OpenBSD on an Xserve G5.  OpenBSD has a few Xserve
G4s for powerpc bulk package builds.

I wanted to compile stuff on this machine, so I thought getting anXserve G5 with dual CPUs would make sense, since it is more powerfulthan the G4 Xserves.

Using an external USB optical drive, I was able to boot into the OpenBSD
installer. Now, I am stuck at:

Available disks are: none.
Which disk is the root disk? ('?' for details)


I suspect that we are missing a SATA driver.  I would like to see a
dmesg of your Xserve.  You might send the dmesg out the serial port,
or save it on a USB flash drive. […]

I use the serial port for Open firmware and the OpenBSD installer anyway- there is no graphics card installed.

Here is dmesg when booting with the onboard SATA controller only (a HDDis attached that can boot to the Darwin login prompt when attached toon-boarc controller, so I assume the disk to be ok - note the "pciide0:port 0: 1.5Gb/s" line in dmesg output).
