      Is it not reporting as the correct device somehow? Seems unlikely since that would break a lot more things but:

      [24.03-DEVELOPMENT][root@pfSense.home.arpa]/boot: kenv | grep smbios
      hint.smbios.0.mem="0x7c51d000"
      smbios.bios.reldate="2023-03-17"
      smbios.bios.revision="13.5"
      smbios.bios.vendor="INSYDE Corp."
      smbios.bios.version="CORDOBA-03.00.00.03t"
      smbios.chassis.maker="Silicom"

      smbios.system.product="8200"

      smbios.system.uuid="8cecd71f-9693-4131-9872-fdf39ebde037"
      smbios.system.version="R403"
      smbios.version="3.0"
      
      You may wanbt to obscure your serial/NDI from that output. Assuming it shows it!

                Ok I think this is a side effect of another issue. Check /boot/loader.conf it should contain the line:
                loader_conf_files="/boot/loader.conf.lua"

                We have seen that line missing from a few other cases though.

                  Definitely not here. Added the entry to the bottom and am rebooting. Standby...

                    You can just manually add it. We are still investigating what might have removed it. Or caused it never to have been added.

                        Excellent. OK that explains why it showed Unknown. Just need to find out why that line went AWOL!
