Bug ID: 256836
Summary: Enable powerd by default on Raspbery Pi images
Product: Base System
Version: 13.0-RELEASE
Hardware: arm64
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: conf
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
During a normal installer process, the installer asks if a number of services
should be enabled by default. On the Raspberry Pi pre-built image, this is a
pre-installed system where these configuration options are never presented.
By default, the Raspberry Pi 4 is locked to only 600 MHz unless powerd is
running.
There is currently no obvious way to know that the performance of this board is
being limited without digging into sysctl. This could lead users to assume that
"FreeBSD is unoptimized and slow" compared to other OSes.
Right now, the only note I'm aware of about this particular issue is at the
very bottom of a Wiki page. This isn't a good end-user experience to have to
hunt down this information, especially if they don't even know what to look for
to begin with.

Because of these, I believe that powerd should be enabled by default in the
Raspberry Pi specific images that are generated.
