Comments/Problems:

installation impossible : mkfs.ext3 blocked. It seems the Dell Perc5 controller is not as well supported as said by http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Flinux.dell.com%2Fdebian_9g.shtml&ei=x45CR7r9EZ32wQGpw7zcCA&usg=AFQjCNEav7uArD6ADYmMpvnV4iNqn-OMQg&sig2=YKlYbIVxCFdGyF_--Sh_Mw

Do you need help?

Installation of FreeBSD 7.0 Beta3 went smoothly, machine now under FreeBSD.
