dmesg:

# /dev/da0:

  c: 5859115008        0    unused        0     0         # "raw" part, don't edit


Using the label above on da0 gives the following error: 


partition c: partition extends past end of unit
disklabel: partition c doesn't cover the whole unit!
disklabel: An incorrect partition c may cause problems for standard system utilities


Using fdisk in sysinstall or a bsdlabel with * in the size fields writes the following 
to disk:


8 partitions:
#        size   offset    fstype   [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
  c: 1157627904        0    unused        0     0         # "raw" part, don't edit
  e: 1155530752        0    4.2BSD     4096 32768     0 


I've got a 3ware 8500-8 on a 5.1-RELEASE system with a 1.7T array that the handbook 
procedure for adding a dedicated disk worked fine with. In that case the number of 
sectors was 3418765056 on partition c. No problems with that system for almost a year, 
same procedure here doesn't work.

Any ideas?
Nick
