Not knowing which compaq server you are referring to, perhaps this link will
help.

http://www.daemonnews.org/200003/cpqraid.html

I used these instructions and had FBSD4.8 happily running on Compaq5000R
w/ 4x200MHz CPU, 1.2GB of RAM, the Compaq 2P raid controller. However,
even though it has a scsi cdrom, I ended up installing via FTP. The system
would
lock up right after "Waiting 15 seconds for SCSI devices to settle"...

You do have to set the primary OS as Unixware7.1 to be able to install 4.x.
I had
no success installing 5.x.

Good Luck!
