What kind of device does freebsd hang off nvme? Is it da or something not cam? Haven't really been paying attention.

It's nvme. The GEOM disks (which are what you want to use) show up as /dev/nvd#.

thus spoke the manual nvme(4):
"The nvme driver creates controller device nodes in the format /dev/nvmeX and namespace device nodes in the format /dev/nvmeXnsY."
it's been a while since i've had access to nvme gear but it "just worked" at the time - although my use case was for a a daemon that accessed the block device directly to do its own horrible things to it.
