FreeBSD 14 vs nvme gpart partitions

[Craig Leres]

I just upgraded an intel nuc from 13.3 to 14.1 and I don't have swap any
more. The root filesystem is a single nvme and see now that nvd was
renamed nda but I no longer have the gpart partition entries in /dev.

Earlier I upgraded a system with a 2 nvme mirror and that system still
has the gpart swap partition (i.e. nda0p2). I guess I don't understand
why the nuc doesn't. Poking around I see
/dev/diskid/DISK-S5P2NU0W137782Zp2 but I'd prefer to use /dev/nda0p2?!?!

D'oh! I found some things to put into loader.conf to solve my issues:

kern.geom.label.disk_ident.enable="0"
kern.geom.label.gptid.enable="0"

Apparently I needed this way back when I built my first poudriere build
server.

I still don't understand why the os upgrade switched modes but I guess
at this point I sorta don't care.

Sorry for the noise.
