Hi, Looking at man 4 aesni it appears this pertains to intel and AMD only? is its prescence on arm64 a bug?
It seems to be added to /boot/loader.conf by default. The method I used to install is to boot to the latest snapshot at the time, then plug in a usb3 disk, ran bsdinstall to that disk, rebooted (this booted initially to the installer image), mounted the msdos partition on /mnt. moved the /boot/efi/efi from the installed-to disk out of the way, copied everything in /mnt to /boot/efi, moved the /boot/efi/efi back to where it originally was, halted the machine and removed the installer image. This was to achieve zfs-on-root. Maybe something about the way I installed meant aesni was added? --
