pfSense 2.6.0 (FreeBSD 12.3-STABLE) doesn't display BIOS information correctly

[shortbloke]

BIOS: ZMB v1,0 Zimaboard 832 Build Date: 02/23/2022 22:08:56 PfSense 2.6.0

• Login to webui for pfsense
• The BIOS information is displayed as: Version: CPU Internal L2

On a previous Dell Server this reported the Vendor, Version and Release date:

Vendor: Dell Inc.
Version: 2.10.0
Release Date: Thu May 24 2018

Thanks for the feedback!

My colleague performed the same test and got normal results.

Weird 😢

It appears pfSense displays the BIOS information from kenv which for me the BIOS information is missing/wrong:

As mentioned in #4 , is it possible that this is also a problem in 432?
