I didn't tried FreeBSD on these servers, but for Linux 64-bit systems
demand that "8042 Emulation Support" must be disabled (BIOS, menu
"Advanced").  Try this, may be it will help, especially if you have
no problems with FreeBSD/i386 and 8042 emulation is currently enabled
on your machine.

Drop me a letter if things will fail for you, I might be able to
check FreeBSD/amd64 on the DL140 G3 I have at hand.
