I have Intel DG45ID + Core2 machine with USB keyboard and I want to use geom_eli to encrypt my entire freebsd partition. My FreeBSD version is freebsd 8.0p2, my Drive is SATA and I have USB keyboard and mouse. I intend to boot via USB flash disk and attach the partition at boot. Everything works as described in the documentation, except for a nasty problem. When I try to attach my encrypted partition at boot, it seems that my enter key on the keyboard gets stuck and keep sending LF to my console continuously. The keyboard and the key though are 100% ok (tested on windows). I'm not getting this problem when I use geli to attach the partition after boot, only at boot time (geom_eli_load=YES in loader.conf). I'm not quite sure that the problem isn't the USB keyboard itself or to be more exactly the USB support for that keyboard. For example when I go to "mountroot" prompt (screwed fstab) I can't type a thing.
