That, in turn mentions:

the remote console shows an unresponsive, frozen OS, unable to interact with.


If FreeBSD 13.4 can still swapping out process kernel
stacks, you may want the likes of /etc/sysctl.conf
to have:

#
# Together this pair avoids swapping out the process kernel stacks.
# This avoids processes for interacting with the system from being
# hung-up by such.
vm.swap_enabled=0
vm.swap_idle_enabled=0

(I've no clue that that is why you lost control but
it may be a possibility.)

(main [FreeBSD 15] no longer does such swapping out of any
process kernel stacks and the 2 settings have been removed.)
