The SATA subsystem was changed to use cam back in 2012 [1], which
changed device numbering from adX to ada0, ada1.
Back then, a sysctl called kern.cam.ada.legacy_aliases, which is
enabled by default, was provided for backwards compatibility.
Some research shows that this feature was removed in r289137 [2]
It's also covered in UPDATING:
20151011:
Compatibility shims for legacy ATA device names have been
removed. It includes ATA_STATIC_ID kernel option,
kern.cam.ada.legacy_aliases and kern.geom.raid.legacy_aliases
loader tunables, kern.devalias.* environment variables, /dev/ad*
and /dev/ar* symbolic links.
