I've tried first just forcing the drive into LBA instead of auto, and this solved the problem.
The only (small) problem that appeared was with the WebGUI interface. The default metallic theme gives me a rendering problem with windows/Firefox, in which the System and Diagnostics menus overlap. With the pfsense theme, Firefox works fine, but since I couldn't access the system menu, I had to do this switch with IE. The pfsense-dropdown theme gave me a similar problem, but instead System, I can't access the Diagnostics section. Did somebody else have this problem?
