Did you run drvconfig; disks; devlinks or devfsadm already?
Did you try a boot -r?
Do the disks show up when running probe-scsi-all from the OBP?

Take a look at /dev/[r]dsk/ and /devices. Are the device entries
for the disks there?

You don't need any additional drivers. The 53C875 is supported
"out of the box" by the glm kernel module:

NAME
glm - GLM SCSI Host Bus Adapter Driver

SYNOPSIS
scsi@unit-address

DESCRIPTION
The glm Host Bus Adapter driver is a SCSA compliant nexus
driver that supports the LSI 53c810, LSI 53c875, LSI
53c876, LSI 53C896 and LSI 53C1010 SCSI chips
[...]

The controller is not HVD and the disks SE/LVD are they? Or the other
way around?

If the controler is HVD, then it will *not* work with 99% of disks sold.

I doubt so. First, the 53C875 is a UW/SE chipset and second, the OP said
he could see the disks at the OBP.
