            Bug ID: 275960
           Summary: The "Partition Editor" dialog in BSDINSTALL(8) should
                    list hard drive identifiers
           Product: Base System
           Version: 14.0-STABLE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: misc

The "Partition Editor" dialog only shows device names and sizes.

In cases when the system has many devices, especially of the same size - it
might be difficult to choose the device.

This script:
> grep -E 'ada[0-9]' /var/run/dmesg.boot | grep ": <"

lists hard drives with identifiers, like "<INTEL SSDSC2BF180A4H LH6i>".

I am suggesting that the "Partition Editor" dialog is improved in 2 ways:
1. It should list hard drive identifiers in addition to device names and sizes
2. The missing word should be fixed, see the question mark on the screenshot.
