With i386 and amd64, you will need to boot off of another volume in
order to use a volume larger than 2TB because the only supported
partition type is MS-DOS MBR which has a 2TB limit.  (You're also
apparently running up against limits in sysinstall, but that's fairly
immaterial) To use the volume at all, you will either need to install a
UFS file system on it directly or create a gpt partition table.
