That's actually not a problem of Solus - it is not possible to use a drive bigger than 2 TB with an MBR partition table in BIOS mode. There are two things you can do:

boot your system in UEFI mode so Solus will create a GPT partition table that will work with your HDD
use a different, smaller HDD as the boot drive
