You'll only be able to use one SCSI drive under Mac68K OpenBSD.  :-(

The Apple utility won't format drives with a non-Apple driver on them.  
You may have to update the driver and reboot before you are allowed to 
format the disk.

Additionally, there may be some drives the Apple utility won't touch no 
matter the driver, however my experience has been it works with Quantum 
and IBM drives (with an Apple driver on the HD).

I am using a 4 GB IBM drive; no problems using Apple's utility to 
format (with an Apple driver on the HD).
