Well, ok, I assume that you got a Dl 380 Generation 1, with the white case, and also 4U form factor, that has an ida RAID controller as PCI-card. I had one of those running with FreeBSD 4.7, later updated to 4.8-stable with cvsup. Ok, I had only one CPU in, and I had the OS type in SETUP set to NT4. Do not set to linux or SCO, that could impose problems.
