I don't see a reference to your SCSI controller.  This is going to make
a difference in configuring things, and may be the biggest single issue
here.

For the rest of your hardware, I'd strongly recommend you do some
targeted Google searches or look at hardware lists.  If your internet
access is so limited this is difficult, have someone do this for you or
hit a more accessible terminal someplace.

 The system is assembled and the hard drives are partitioned. But,
 Debian can't see the drives and I don't have the Debian-compatible
 software drivers for any of the above hardware.

SCSI card info is necessary here.  Review your dmesg output and/or post
here if you can't interpret it.

It says:

Note: The supermicro P6DGU [BX] motherboard has built-in SCSI using Adapted 7800 family manager, the manual shows when used with SCO UNIX that BLAD or BLAD325 set drivers are to be used.
