The install failed using the method below. While extracting the archives I get an mfi command failed... then a series of mfi0: COMMAND 0xfffffe0001fcf388 timeout after 76 seconds... and it keeps incrementing from there.
Should the drive still show up as mfid0 during install? I was expecting to see mrsasd0 or something of that sort.
Thanks

At the loader(8) prompt, try:
set hw.mfi.mrsas_enable=1
boot
There is an overlap between some mfi(4) drivers and the mrsas(4) driver,
and the mfi(4) probe happens first.
