Turns out the problem is that the RAID Controller on the server where the emergency diskettes were created is a ULTRA 320, whereas the server we are trying to load is using an ULTRA 160.

Drivers are loaded from the diskettes and the system was unable to use the tape drive, as the drivers were for the 320 controller.

Maybe this helps if someone else gets stuck...
