It is listed in sys/amd64/conf/NOTES.

From /usr/src/UPDATING:

20191003:
        The hpt27xx, hptmv, hptnr, and hptrr drivers have been removed from
        GENERIC.  They are available as modules and can be loaded by adding
        to /boot/loader.conf hpt27xx_load="YES", hptmv_load="YES",
        hptnr_load="YES", or hptrr_load="YES", respectively.

But none of the 13.x-RELEASE kernel.txz (amd64) include the mentioned modules.
I guess you should open a PR at bugs.freebsd.org. Maybe this can be
fixed for 13.4-RELEASE.

Have you tried to build your own kernel with "device hptrr"?
