Thanks for the reply. :-)
Correction: the error message is:
GEOM_ELI: Wrong key for da0s1d
To reduce confusion, I have wiped the SanDisk Ultra Fit 16 GB USB 3.0
flash drive, disconnected all internal drives except the optical drive,
and done a fresh install from CD to the USB flash drive.
After entering the GELI passphrase, the machine boots to the "login: "
prompt:
$ freebsd-version; uname -a
11.2-RELEASE
FreeBSD beastie 11.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE #0 r335510: Fri Jun 22
04:32:14 UTC 2018
root@releng2.nyi.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64
$ gpart show da0
=> 63 31266753 da0 MBR (15G)
63 1 - free - (512B)
64 31266752 1 freebsd [active] (15G)
$ gpart show da1
gpart: No such geom: da1.
So, it appears that I must use CD installation media, not memstick
media, when I want to install to a USB flash drive (?).
