BTX - ignore a disk

I'm in the process of installing FreeNAS on a HP Microserver (gen8), but I'm running into an issue with the RAID controller (HP SmartArray B120i). Four disks are set up in pass-through mode and configured in a RAIDZ2 volume and working fine. Due to some fan speed issues I'm looking to set[]up a fifth disk as a RAID0 volume using the hardware RAID controller - this is however causing a BTX error. I don't need to have access to this disk whatsoever from within FreeNAS, is there a way to configure BSX to ignore this drive? I've tried looking at the man pages for the loader but I haven't been able to come up with anything.

Here is the error:

Code:
BTX loader 1.00  BTX version is 1.02
Consoles: internal video/keyboard
BIOS drive C: is disk0

The only solution I can come up with off the top of my head is using hypervisor and not passing this disk / volume on to FreeBSD, but this isn't ideal as my CPU doesn't support vt-d (in order to pass the other four disks through to FreeNAS).

Thanks!
