That looks broken indeed; yaird will decide the fstab cannot
be trusted, and will not generate an initial boot image.

Same thing: this tells you only that you need to fix fstab
in order to get a full test report.

I've seen Grub working on Proliant, but google finds some problems with it.
Search for grub and cciss for further info; I found this the most clear
description of what to do:

At this point, it's not clear to me exactly what the symptoms are,
and what the cause could be. So just a first question, and depending
on outcome, we can discuss follow-up experiments.
Could you
* modify /etc/fstab to comment out the broken line 13,
plus any other broken lines.
* run yaird --debug and yaird --test, and mail the complete output
