Perhaps on i386, while amd64 beta2/beta3 snapshot from SESNAP works and 
panics while installing it on array (ufs panic in the middle of base

Ok, I will prepare it on another machine.

Nope. Machine is sealed so I can only change SCSI hard disks on ServeRaid.

I might build a release ISO with this if first method fails. Been 
getting better and better at building FreeBSD releases while fighting 
with this machine :)
