My problem stems from not being able to use my keyboard during the geli
password prompt for the encrypted root drive.

This is not a new issue:

Both people who have had the problem aside from me mention that the issue
did not exist pre FreeBSD-9.1

At this time I'm wondering what I should do. I really would like to have my
root encrypted. The actual bug hasn't moved for quite some time. Should I
open up a new one?

Since my motherboard does not have non-USB keyboard options, I'm not able
of encryption on root.

Does anyone have ideas? suggestions?  I have tried waiting and then type,
but nothing has helped. How can I move this forward?
