--- Comment #4 from rallenh@hotmail.com ---
I have the same outcome: Failed to load kernel 'kernel' when I use all 8
spindles (11.1TB). BIOS boot configuration worked fine with 6 x 2.8TB RAID =
10
(8.3TB, two hot spares).

The only hardware "configuration" I changed was going from 6 x 2.8TB RAID 1=
0 to
8 x 2.8TB RAID 10 (and re-init) and then re-install and re-boot. I did this=
 for
both BIOS boot configuration and UEFI boot configuration with the same resu=
lts.
I have left it in UEFI mode because I now have a USB flash drive loaded with
FreeBSD to rescue the box if it doesn't reboot on me. The flash is plugged =
into
an internal connector. It's easier to boot from this in UEFI mode vs BIOS m=
ode
and I get a serial console, I just have to hit F11 and choose the flash dri=
ve.

I originally thought this was an EFI issue and I had created a ticket with =
that
working assumption, it's here:
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D249045. I was using an =
8 x
2.8TB RAID 6 (16TB) configuration then. I didn't really experiment with RAID
configurations with the premise that the size of the RAID was the issue.

The reason why I now don't think this EFI related, it does the same thing in
BIOS boot mode and I get an error _during_ install with 12.2-STABLE (r36925=
0).
In the previous ticket, I used 12.1-RELEASE and I didn't get any errors dur=
ing
install.
