I wonder, why are the two settings below explicitly disabled by default in /boot/loader.conf during 13.0 installation? I would think it is better to use disk ids or gpt ids in configuration in case the disks are moved to another port (instead of /dev/adaX, etc). One way to encourage that is to make them visible from the beginning, meaning installation, for new users benefit. I had to spend some time with google to find how to make them visible, as there is some wrong information online. kern.geom.label.disk_ident.enable="0" kern.geom.label.gptid.enable="0" There must be a reason for them to be explicitly disabled by default. What is it?
