If you can access its BMC to boot from DVD, then see what happens when

up rather quickly if VMS is not able to find support drivers and other
primordial bits and pieces to boot.

  I could be arsed to give it a whirl, if you think there's any
possibility of it actually booting.   I'd rather not go dig it out if
there's little chance, though.

  Now, I'm aware that you're "all up in there" with VMS internals...Is
there any chance of your being able to make it run (I understand that
there'd likely be low-level driver work involved) on an unsupported
system such as this?
