Fwd: 12.2-RELEASE installer doesn't detect any disks on Dell UEFI PC

12.2-RELEASE installer doesn't detect any disks on Dell UEFI PC:
I have a new Dell XPS 8940 system: 256GB SSD, and 1TB HD drives.
I made a USB memstick from this:
FreeBSD-12.2-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img.xz
and that will boot up just fine. However: it can't see any disks on the
Dell system, except for itself (ada0), so I cannot install. I have
disabled Secure Boot on the Dell's UEFI boot setup (without that the USB
memstick would not boot properly).
I had shrunk the Windows C: on the SSD, and the empty D: drive, so Windows
now looks like this (Win10 makes this very wide, so each output is in two
parts):

Windows Disk Manager shows this in a less confusing image:

My intent is to install FreeBSD to the 100GB NTFS partition labelled
FreeBSD System, allowing for reformatting it to UFS, of course.
The installer does not "see" any of the above. From either the shell or
the live system, all /dev has for disk is:
crw-r----- 1 root operator 0x5f Jan 25 11:10 da0
crw-r----- 1 root operator 0x60 Jan 25 11:10 da0s1
crw-r----- 1 root operator 0x61 Jan 25 11:10 da0s2
crw-r----- 1 root operator 0x64 Jan 25 11:10 da0s2a
Those entries are the memstick.
So, I am stuck. What do I do to make the SSD and HD partitions show up?
FWIW, here is the dmesg output from the installer shell:
