Has anyone got Digital Server 5305 working with any version of FreeBSD?

At first I had assumed it was problems with the RAID controller,
but I have now tried several different RAID and SCSI controllers, and
several SCSI disks yet FreeBSD will not install,
it cant find the disks or it sees them but wont let me partition them or (in
the case of the Mylex RAID controller) I need to load the mlx driver from
the drivers.flp but FreeBSD cant find the floppy drive but I have just
booted from the floppy!

Can anyone help?

Thanks
Anthony
