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, re-install the entire system following these directions:

  1. When the installer asks for a partitioning scheme, select the Manual Partitioning option.
  2. Create a partition that is 1 MB in size.
  3. Set the new partition type as “BIOS boot partition”
  4. Configure the rest of the partitions as you would do normally.
  5. Once the installation completes, the system should now boot up.
