Well, you have a typical Lynx config here. An EV5 based box. A KZPSC / Mylex DAC960 backplane raid card. A (useless to FreeBSD) KZPSA fast-wide-differential SCSI HBA, probably had an external RAIDbox on it at some point. And a FastEthernet NIC, the DE500. The question now is what config the non-booting Lynx had.
