FreeBSD 8.3 with LSI MegaRAID 9265-8i
Trying to load FreeBSD 8.3 on to an LSI MegaRAID 9265i volume -- 3 3TB disks for a total volume size of 8.8 TB. The installer program runs from the DVD (we are using 8.3 because we couldn't get a 9.0 boot disk to load at all, actually.) But when it gets to the point of creating partitions it says no hard disk is present.
