Is there something "funny" about the format of the CD?

The CDs use El Torito No Emulation mode, which I believe is used by
Windows XP and Windows 2000 as well. Does your machine boot from those?

A copy of Windows 2000 pro from sometime in 2000 works fine. I don't
have any more recent Windows CDs.

You might try swapping the physical drives between your two machines. That's been known to work before, if the drive doesn't do deblocking correctly or something.

I've only got disk0 and its various subdevices.

I have linux/BSD/Solaris using a serial console, so I was able to dump ioreg output
to the console server by redirecting it to /dev/tty.builtin-serial1. I've appended
the output. These entries look somewhat encouraging if SAT means SATA:

| | +-o SAT1@7 <class IOPCIDevice, registered, matched, active, busy 0, retain count 10>
| | +-o SAT2@8 <class IOPCIDevice, registered, matched, active, busy 0, retain count 10>

But it is not seeing the SATA disks.

Yup. You might try connecting a regular ATA drive to your on-board ATA bus, since clearly the CD-ROM drive works.
