I can install FreeBSD on it with zero issue. don't even have to disable
ACPI.
pfsense freezes right after it sees the raid array as a viable HDD.

with ACPI turned off it gets a kernel trap 12 error almost immediately.
Google found a suggestion from someone to enable "OS install mode" in the
BIOS for the initial install (which limits the accessible RAM), do the
install, then turn that back off after confirming you can successfully
boot the install. Someone did get stock FreeBSD installed successfully
this way.
Also I'd make sure it has the latest BIOS on it, I've seen many various
pieces of Dell hardware do weird stuff on FreeBSD and/or pfSense with old
BIOS revisions when they work flawlessly on the latest.
