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.
