OK... the card is pluggued but not recognised from the PROM:
ok show-disks
a) /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/ide@3/cdrom
b) /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/ide@3/disk
c) /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/ebus@1/fdthree@14,3023f0
q) NO SELECTION=20
Enter Selection, q to quit: q

Digging LSIlogic.com, I found http://lsionline2.lsil.com/esupport/esupportl=

which states: "The Sun Ultra 5 and Sun Ultra 10 machines have 5-Volt only P=
CI slots."
(...) "LSI Logic Ultra 320 SCSI HBAs work in all Sun SPARC systems except t=
he Sun Ultra 5 and the Sun Ultra 10."

I'm building a kernel containing mpt driver to check if it is a PROM issue =
only or if the PCI
voltage causes my U5 not to see the card.
