Hi,
I suggest you try these scenario first.
1st - At RAID controller BIOS.
Create 1 small logical drive for FreeBSD installation.
The rest space from RAID0, just create 2TB for each logical drive.
2nd - Boot with FreeBSD installation CD/DVD
Lets see FreeBSD bootable CD/DVD can see the small logical drive created, or not?
If this not work, may be the RAID controller is too new for this FreeBSD version.
The CD/DVD doesn't have driver for it inside.
You may need to change to older RAID controller, or move to newer FreeBSD version.
Best Regards
Varan.
