The following tutorial requires a motherboard that is EFI compatible (most boards since 2012 are EFI compatible). Typically, when installing the operating system on a drive larger than 2 TB, the server does not end up booting and just sits at a black screen with a blinking cursor. To fix this, reinstall the entire system following these directions:
When the installer asks for a partitioning scheme, select the Manual Partitioning option.
Create a partition of 1 MB.
Set the new partition type as BIOS boot partition.
Configure the remaining partitions as you normally would.
Once the installation completes, the system should now boot up.
