--- Comment #6 from Graham Perrin <grahamperrin@freebsd.org> ---
zfs_enable is documented under
<https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/book/#zfs-quickstart>.
(In reply to Dennis Clarke from comment #5)

From
<https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/book/#bsdinstall-partitioning>:

>> Manual partitioning allows advanced users to create customized

When you choose auto for ZFS: zfs_enable is set automatically.
<https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/commit/6e15678a470671d454dba52e195c4167b8d63c06#diff-566a1b9d6ad5ce6df61a53416b8d7c690b67d0a53c667a1000a45042131f6e95>
When you choose manual instead of auto: the automation that you lose is not
limited to partitioning. There's some expectation of advanced users either
reading relevant parts of the FreeBSD Handbook, or already having the advanced
knowledge.
