The distribution media you are using does not recognise the hard disk controller by default. You will probably need to use a 'defbootstr' at the boot: prompt to tell it to use a different disk controller driver.
Google for 'defbootstr'
Here's a discussion about the subject as an example:
defbootstr | SCO OpenServer 5.06 - SCO
I don't know whether the driver you require for the ML350g8 is on the media you are using or not, or whether you will need to download the driver and put it on a floppy/USB stick to load it in. Putting the driver name into the defbootstr will either automatically get the copy from the media or, if it's not on there, will ask you to provide it from other media during the boot/install process.
I hope that is of some small help. I'm sure you will get better answers from the SCO experts on here especially jgt when he logs in.

So I don't think that it's the hard disk it's not recognizing, it's the hard disk controller it's not seeing due to lack of driver.

Hey, and also, you should have searched this forum first, I think the answer(s) are already on here:

mknod
MKNOD(8) BSD System Manager's Manual MKNOD(8)
NAME
mknod -- make device special file
SYNOPSIS
mknod [-F format] name [c | b] major minor
[-F format] name [c | b] major unit subunit
name [c | b] number
name [p]
DESCRIPTION
The mknod command creates device special files. Normally the shell script /dev/MAKEDEV is used to create special files for commonly known
devices; it executes mknod with the appropriate arguments and can make all the files required for the device.
To make nodes manually, the required arguments are:
name Device name, for example ``sd'' for a SCSI disk on an HP300 or a ``pty'' for pseudo-devices.
b | c | p
Type of device. If the device is a block type device such as a tape or disk drive which needs both cooked and raw special files, the
type is b. All other devices are character type devices, such as terminal and pseudo devices, and are type c. To create named pipes
the type p can be used.
major The major device number is an integer number which tells the kernel which device driver entry point to use. To learn what major
device number to use for a particular device, check the file /dev/MAKEDEV to see if the device is known, or check the system depen-
dent device configuration file:
``/usr/src/sys/conf/device.architecture''
(for example device.hp300).
minor The minor device number tells the kernel which one of several similar devices the node corresponds to; for example, it may be a spe-
cific serial port or pty.
unit and subunit
The unit and subunit numbers select a subset of a device; for example, the unit may specify a particular SCSI disk, and the subunit a
partition on that disk. (Currently this form of specification is only supported by the bsdos format, for compatibility with the
BSD/OS mknod(8) .)
Device numbers for different operating systems may be packed in a different format. To create device nodes that may be used by such an oper-
ating system (e.g. in an exported file system used for netbooting), the -F option is used. The following formats are recognized: native,
386bsd, 4bsd, bsdos, freebsd, hpux, isc, linux, netbsd, osf1, sco, solaris, sunos, svr3, svr4 and ultrix.
Alternatively, a single opaque device number may be specified.
