Hi! Set the BIOS to "Not Installed" or somethin' like that. Remove the 32gig jumper. If the FreeBSD has a direkt access to the controller it will recognize, but of course you can't boot it. Otherwise, you should make the slices and partitions on a machine, that fully support your disk. Hope the BSD will recognize it.
