714+ is designed for use with VMware, not as a standalone system. Use the 714 cut 2 cd.
The Emergency boot Cd is specific to an installation.
Installing 714 on the system may result in all the file systems being formatted.
I suggest you do the following, which is still high risk.
Download the supplementary HBA cd. I am assuming that the HPSAS driver is required.
Make a note of, or save the current RAID configuration.
Remove all the drives from the system, and carefully mark which slot they came from.
Acquire a single disk, install it, and create a new RAID0 configuration.
Install 7.1.4, and in this process create the same file system names as on the original. The actual size of the file systems does not matter.
Create an emergency boot cd, or download and install Microlite Edge (microlite.com) and create their recovery CD.
Remove the single hard drive and replace with the RAID5 configuration.
Boot from the newly made recovery cd, and run fsck on the root file system and the stand file system.

LEARN ABOUT FREEBSD
boot.config
BOOT.CONFIG(5) BSD File Formats Manual BOOT.CONFIG(5)
NAME
boot.config -- Configuration file for the boot blocks
DESCRIPTION
The boot.config file contains options for the FreeBSD boot block code.
When the FreeBSD boot loader runs, it searches the ``a'' slice of the boot partition for a boot.config file (as a result, slices which are
missing an ``a'' partition require user intervention during the boot process). If the boot.config file is found, its contents are used as
the default configuration options for the boot block code and are echoed to the system console.
A valid format of this file is to put BIOS drive number, a controller type, a unit number, a partition, a kernel file name, and any other
valid boot(8) option on a single line, as it is done at the ``boot:'' prompt.
The options related to the boot image selection described below and all the other options available for boot.config are documented in detail
in the boot(8) manual page.
FILES
/boot.config parameters for the boot blocks (optional)
EXAMPLES
The command:
# echo "-P" > /boot.config
will activate the serial console of FreeBSD.
The command:
# echo "1:ad(1,a)/boot/loader" > /boot.config
will instruct the second stage of boot(8) on the first disk to boot with the third boot(8) stage from the second disk.
The command:
# echo "1:ad(1,a)/boot/loader -P" > /boot.config
will do both of the above.

boot(8), loader(8)
