--- Comment #6 from Graham Perrin <grahamperrin@freebsd.org> ---
zfs_enable is documented under

When you choose auto for ZFS: zfs_enable is set automatically.=20

When you choose manual instead of auto: the automation that you lose is not
limited to partitioning. There's some expectation of advanced users either
reading relevant parts of the FreeBSD Handbook, or already having the advan=
ced
knowledge.
