Having used bsdinstall to make a USB3 SSD on a RPi4B
(zfs-on-root, GPT parition, RPi4B materials copied
copied to msdos file system), booting gets error notices:

newsyslog: malformed 'at' value:
/var/log/all.log                        600  7     *    @T00  J

newsyslog: malformed 'at' value:

newsyslog: malformed 'at' value:
/var/log/utx.log                        644  3     *    @01T05 B

It is apparently complaining about some of the
content in:

# more /etc/newsyslog.conf
# configuration file for newsyslog
# $FreeBSD$
#
# Entries which do not specify the '/pid_file' field will cause the
# syslogd process to be signalled when that log file is rotated.  This
# action is only appropriate for log files which are written to by the
# syslogd process (ie, files listed in /etc/syslog.conf).  If there
# is no process which needs to be signalled when a given log file is
# rotated, then the entry for that file should include the 'N' flag.
#
# Note: some sites will want to select more restrictive protections than the
# defaults.  In particular, it may be desirable to switch many of the 644
# entries to 640 or 600.  For example, some sites will consider the
# contents of maillog, messages, and lpd-errs to be confidential.  In the
# future, these defaults may change to more conservative ones.
#
# logfilename          [owner:group]    mode count size when  flags [/pid_file] [sig_num]

<include> /etc/newsyslog.conf.d/[!.]*.conf
<include> /usr/local/etc/newsyslog.conf.d/[!.]*.conf


Specifically, the 7 lines with "@" involved under "when" get the
complaints.
