The FreeBSD-14.0-BETA5-arm64-aarch64-zfs.raw.xz (maybe others, I didn't 
check) has a rc.conf with a ton of repeated lines. I tried looking at 
why this would be, but the release scripts to create this image went 
right over my head.

$ sudo mdconfig FreeBSD-14.0-BETA5-arm64-aarch64-zfs.raw
md0
$ sudo zpool import -R /mnt -t 4016146626377348012 vm-zpool
$ wc -l /mnt/etc/rc.conf
       36 /mnt/etc/rc.conf
$ sort -u /mnt/etc/rc.conf
growfs_enable="YES"
hostname="freebsd"
ifconfig_DEFAULT="DHCP inet6 accept_rtadv"
zfs_enable="YES"
zpool_reguid="zroot"
zpool_upgrade="zroot"
