The only gotcha we encountered was support for the H730 RAID controller -- this probes as an mfi(4) device but doesn't work properly (timeouts, IO failures, probably soon enough that you won't be able to complete installing the system). You need to set hw.mfi.mrsas_enable=3D1 at the loader prompt and then in /boot/loader.conf to override it into using the mrsas(4) driver, after which everything works like a charm.
