--- Comment #6 from Billy <georgewilliamfoster@gmail.com> ---
My workaround is as follows:

1. Launch an instance with an unencrypted disk.

2. Attached an encrypted disk to the instance.

3. Run bsdinstall to set up the encrypted disk with a fresh installation of
FreeBSD.

4. Detach both disks from the instance.

5. Attach the encrypted disk to the instance as /dev/sda1 so that the insta=
nce
boots from the fresh installation.

I personally like this approach because it lets me customize the install ra=
ther
than use the settings selected in the AMI.

That said, if you like the AMI version, you can probably skip the bsdinstall
step and instead just dd from a working unencrypted disk to an attached
encrypted disk.
