Hey, I've got an Xserve as well and have been working at trying to get it working with FreeBSD. I've been using the instructions for the NFS booting and install. The problem I run into is that the PCI bridge code doesn;t seem to like the onboard bridges (KeyLargo and some Intel PCI-PCI bridges), so resource allocation gets all mixed up. I think I actually have a dmesg somewhere from it.
