I think this is a specialty in this case, since it is SATA and not IDE.

The SATA disk gets listed by probe-scsi-all:

ok probe-scsi-all
/pci@1e,600000/pci@0/pci@9/pci@0/scsi@1

MPT Version 1.05, Firmware Version 1.08.03.00

Target 0
Unit 0 Disk ATA ST3360320AS M 703282608 Blocks, 360 GB SATA device PhyNum 0

So boot via disk and /pci@1e,600000/pci@0/pci@9/pci@0/scsi@1/disk@0,0
should be ok.

I will try different partition sizes and drives now.
