Boot from FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE-CD and install. No problems
so far. You might want to disable USB within BIOS, though,
because they seem to be shared with other critical devices
(nics and raidcontroller). But I don't use USB anyway.
Then you might want to upgrade to 5-STABLE.
This is on Dell PowerEdge 2800 with 2GB ECC RAM,
4 x 36GB SCSI and amrd-Controller (PERC-4-something).
Binary copy of SAP 4.6C and Oracle 8 (from a working
installation on FreeBSD 4.x) works nearly without changes
(using emulators/linux_base-suse-9.1 and one additional
rpm (some compatibility-thing)).
