[-- Attachment #1 --] Further question.... does boot1.efi (which I assume has to be placed on the EFI partition and then something like rEFInd can select it) know how to handle a geli-encrypted primary partition (e.g. for root/boot so I don't need an unencrypted /boot partition), and if so how do I tell it that's the case and to prompt for the password? (If not I know how to set up for geli-encryption using a non-encrypted /boot partition, but my understanding is that for 12 the loader was taught how to handle geli internally and thus you can now install 12 -- at least for ZFS -- with encryption on root. However, that wipes the disk if you try to select it in the installer, so that's no good -- and besides, on a laptop zfs is overkill.) Thanks!
