Rebuilt kernel, network up and running. Did find out in the process that the DL320 will try and boot off a flash drive.. didn't expect that.. Anyway, thanks much for the pointers, and I'm off to the races now.

Here's what I found: 1) The onboard ethernet chip driver in 6.1-release is buggy and will panic the system. Install and don't enable ethernet. Download the current bge driver from CVS, copy to a floppy, copy from floppy to server, recompile kernel. 2) Turn off the onboard SATA raid in BIOS, it uses adaptec microcode that isn't supported. If you want mirrored raid, there's a procedure that you can do to get it. 3) for some weird reason the system will hang during boot for up to TWO MINUTES. After it gets done doing whatever it's doing, it will continue booting. Install normally, don't do anything special. BIOS settings should be normal.
