Tried adding in System > Settings > Tuneables
  • ichwd_load="YES"
  • watchdogd_enable="YES"

Also ensured Intel hardware TCO watchdog is enabled in the BIOS

Reboot (and even cold reboot)

But dmesg | grep ichwd returns no results from CLI.
Appears ichwd is not loading


Use 'ichwd_load' instead of 'ichwd_enable', see https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ichwd
