I could get data from "MYmaster.sys.sysxlgns". All other "sys.sys*"
gave me the same result if I prefixed it with master or MYmaster.

It's probebly my poor t-sql. Is it possible to create a query that
would actually give the output result as I would get it from
sp_helpsrvrolemember?


Not really sure what you did, but you need to use sp_helptext on the
catalog views, get the view definition directly, then run the command
against the system tables.
