1.4TB is not going to work. Even though disklabel supports up til 2TB
partitions, you'll likely encounter trouble when creating a
filesystem. Make you logical drives 1TB max.

The way you describe it it looks like the BIOS does not recognize or
can't handle the large drive(s). If the BIOS switches to netboot,
there's nothing OpenBSD can do about that.
