Hi,

"nda0" is the one being used. "nda0" and "nda1" are the nvme drives behind pcie..
Will try 15.0 and update here..

Thanks,
Arjun

Which NVMe drive are you using? There appear to be 4 devices:
  1. the nvme driver attaches, but not the nda driver
  2. No driver attaches "pci0: <mass storage, NVM> at device 1.7 (no
driver attached)"
  3. Has nvme and nda drivers "nda0: <INTEL SSDPF21Q032TB L0310600
PHAL2200001M3P2GGN>"
  4. Has nvme and nda drivers "nda1: <INTEL SSDPF21Q032TB L0310600
PHAL220000123P2GGN>"

Can you try with a recent 15.0-CURRENT snapshot? It will have extra
debugging enable. e.g. something from
https://download.freebsd.org/snapshots/ISO-IMAGES/15.0/
