--- Comment #1 from Alexander Vereeken <Alexander88207@protonmail.com> ---
Hello,

drm-kmod is the friendly meta package that installs the recommended DRM ver=
sion
based on the given OSVERSION along with gpu-firmware-kmod.

Going to install an certain version by hand is more an advanced way and let=
 the
use choose which gpu-firmware a user wants to install.

However, it became more common that people dont have gpu-firmware installed=
 in
that case and do run into a freeze in the "loading modules" phase for examp=
le.

I would recommend to leave a hint about that at least as a pkg install-mess=
age
that those ports do not pull gpu-firmware.
