For some reason, when we ordered the server w/ freebsd pre-installed,
the vendor created a slice which was less than half the size of the
full raid array (>2TB).  Perhaps because sysinstall was having trouble
with a slice larger than 2TB?

This page -- http://www.freebsd.org/projects/bigdisk/ -- may be out of
date, but it reports:
sysinstall 	Not done 	A full audit is needed. Reports exist of
problems with >1TB partitions.
