It sounds like the E150 has a second SCSI controller that may not be supported
by OpenBSD - the "Differential Ultra/Wide SCSI (UDWIS/S)" didn't appear to be
on the OpenBSD/SPARC page as compatible (see:
http://www.openbsd.org/sparc.html#hardware), but I didn't look too hard...

Also, the E150 wasn't listed as either supported or unsupported under
http://www.openbsd.org/sparc64.html#hardware...

My money is on an unsupported controller being the problem, esp. since you say
the OpenBoot PROM finds all the devices, eliminating electrical/physical
issues with the drive connections.

HTH,
