Thomas, you need to check the disks visible form a hardware perspective first.
Boot the machine and watch for memory check. You need to stop the boot process, this is normally done using STOP+A keys but you are not on a Sun Keyboard, think it is the "ESC" or "BREAK" key?
You should get an OK prompt.
Type probe-scsi
It should list all the available disks:-
Target 0
Unit 1
Target 1
Unit 1
etc
In your case there should be 4. Assuming you can see four then enter boot
Follow the instructions given by people above for formatting and creating file systems.
