Hello, i want to encrypt my HDD's with GELI (not the root-fs, though). I want to do the encryption without password, just with a key. The key should be stored in a floppy disk, and the read should be read automatically on boot, from the floppy. There is a problem here, because GELI initializes _before_ mounting the disks from /etc/fstab (for obvious reasons, of course). So GELI is not able to get the keys from the floppy and fails. So, any hints how I could get the floppy mounted _before_ GELI tries to initialize? Thanks in advance, Frank
