Hello, I am attempting to install FreeBSD 13 on a Fujitsu Primergy CX400 M4 (MAMA003110) and I have not be successful and I wanted to ask if someone from FreeBSD can verify if FreeBSD will work or will on our Fujitsu server CX400 M4. If it will work what version do I need to use and are there any special installation requirements or is there a particular way that I need to install the FreeBSD.

Another colleague has worked on this as well and the following is her update:
I have tried the below versions of FreeBSD with no success in getting the installer to complete loading the kernel. I did not go back further than Spectre/Meltdown

FreeBSD Release 13.0 (April 13, 2021) - AE_AML_BUFFER_LIMIT issue
FreeBSD Release 12.2 (October 27, 2020) - AE_AML_BUFFER_LIMIT issue
FreeBSD Release 11.4 (June 23, 2020) - Kernel load stops after identifying the Mouse Interface (pictured below)
FreeBSD Release 11.3 (July 9, 2019) - Kernel load stops after identifying the Mouse Interface (pictured below)

I was able to update the BIOS and iRMC firmware on the server.

BIOS - V1.0.0.0 R1.33.0 --->V1.0.0.0 R1.42.0
iRMC - D3854_01.26P_sdr03.39--->D3854_03.06P_sdr03.52

Thank you for help.
