Hi, It's a known problem. I reported it to Maksim Yevmenkin (author of kbdmux), who confirmed it. Workaround is to disable GEOM_ELI in your kernel, make sure you don't load it in loader.conf either, and instead add the disk/slice you want to attach to in geli_devices in /etc/rc.conf. Then you'll be asked to enter the passphrase from userland, which will be fine.
