            Bug ID: 254199
           Summary: dmesg complains "Cannot 'start' webcamd. Set
                    webcamd_enable to YES in /etc/rc.conf or use
                    'onestart' instead of 'start'."

I believe this belongs to devd.
I believe this anomaly is described in /usr/src/UPDATING
20180211:
        devmatch functionality has been turned on in devd. It will
automatically
        load drivers for unattached devices. This may cause unexpected drivers
to
        be loaded. Please report any problems to current@ and imp at freebsd.org.

I have sent it to current@ and imp#

This appears in dmesg if Netgear A6100 plugged in at boot
Starting devd.                                                                  
Cannot 'start' webcamd. Set webcamd_enable to YES in /etc/rc.conf or use
'onestart' instead of 'start'.
I don't HAVE or want a webcam. This is an anomaly.  The webcam port is present
because I installed KDE.  But I have no use for it.

Here's the device as reported by lsusb
Bus /dev/usb Device /dev/ugen0.5: ID 0846:9052 NetGear, Inc. A6100 AC600 DB
