Alright, a phone call to Dell Tech Support led me to find out the BIOS was incorrectly configured. At reboot, FreeBSD showed me this: sa0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 6 lun 0 sa0: <ARCHIVE Python 06408-XXX 8130> Removable Sequential Access SCSI-3 device sa0: 80.000MB/s transfers (40.000MHz, offset 32, 16bit) Once that was taken care of the drive was found at sa0 and all is well.
