NTFS should be in the kernel used by the CD. My guess is that the problem
is that RAID hardware (which may/may not be proprietry) is not recognized
by the kernel. The server also probably uses SCSI.

What type of server/RAID hardware, SCSI hardware?

Probably the easiest is to build a custom boot floppy with a custom kernel
and then either load the packages you need off the CD or floppy.
