As per Holger's comments about disabling USB in BIOS, this is a good suggestion, since the DRAC apparently causes some IRQ issues w/ the PS/2 keyboard controller, or something along those lines. Regardless, these 2850 boxes are stupid fast, and I'm looking forward to benchmarking 5.3 on them.

Yes.
Any help is appreciateed?
Boot from FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE-CD and install. No problems so far. You might want to disable USB within BIOS, though, because they seem to be shared with other critical devices (nics and raidcontroller). But I don't use USB anyway. Then you might want to upgrade to 5-STABLE.
This is on Dell PowerEdge 2800 with 2GB ECC RAM, 4 x 36GB SCSI and amrd-Controller (PERC-4-something).
Binary copy of SAP 4.6C and Oracle 8 (from a working installation on FreeBSD 4.x) works nearly without changes (using emulators/linux_base-suse-9.1 and one additional rpm (some compatibility-thing)).
