yep.

250M SCSI.  
You neglected an important detail: How is this disk attached to the
computer?

O.k., the BIOS is seeing your hard drive...

Looks like you got most of the important stuff.
No evidence of a SCSI adapter being recognized by OpenBSD.

So...
1) Your SCSI adapter isn't supported by OpenBSD
2) Your supported ISA SCSI adapter isn't set to parameters recognized
by OpenBSD
3) Your PCI SCSI adapter is in some PCI slots which don't work
properly with OpenBSD (common on old 486s -- they often had very
non-standard PCI slots)

Compare whatever your SCSI adapter is to the i386 compatable hardware
list, and if listed, set its settings appropriately (assuming ISA),
otherwise get yourself a cheap IDE drive.

Nick.
