FYI, the issue doesn't occur on 14-CURRENT.

Also the issue occurs not only on an installed 13.1-RELEASE, but also by booting the 13.1-RELEASE installer memstick sometimes it doesn't detect the nvme device.
It looks totally random so far, the controller is XG4 NVMe SSD.

Listing "valid disk boot devices" shows nothing at all when the error occurs, it is like the nvme driver didn't attach correctly on time, when it does "so I see GEOM_ELI: Device nda0p4.eli created." the system boots fine, otherwise it fails to mount root.
