In order to not make any accidents with my valuable data, I removed two devices (geli/zfs) from the system. I installed FreeBSD freshly on my drive to get the geli/zfs configuration I desired. Once the install was finished, I booted from the drive to make sure everything worked. And so it did. I then added the two devices again and booted. This was met with a prompt of "mountroot>" and was unable to boot. How can I solve this? #freebsd mentioned using glabels but I'm unclear on how this is done, and because I'm using geli/zfs no one is entirely sure how. Help appreciated. -d
