This is a known issue w/ the ure driver on FreeBSD.  This has been
fixed in -current, and in a few months I'll look at merging it to
stable/12, but it definitly will not make the 12.2 release:

The changes seem to be limited to the driver itself -- is some
structural change in 13 stopping a merge to 12.2 ?
