Hello,
I've recently began researching GELI and disk-encryption altogether
and have run into a problem.
I've created a bootable media with the 6.0-RELEASE kernel with all the
standard modules. It also has geom_eli_load=3D"YES" in loader.conf. I
also have the following /etc/fstab in the boot media:
# Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pas=
s#
/dev/ad0.elib none swap sw 0 0
/dev/ad0.elia / ufs rw 1 1
/dev/ad0.elie /tmp ufs rw 2 2
/dev/ad0.elif /usr ufs rw 2 2
/dev/ad0.elid /var ufs rw 2 2
I created /dev/ad0.eli via the following:
geli init -b -l 256 /dev/ad0
and the partitions:
bsdlabel -w /dev/ad0.eli
bsdlabel -e /dev/ad0.eli
However, when I boot, I can see that geom_eli is loaded, but it does
not ever ask me for the password. I believe that is the point of the
-b argument I supplied to the geli init command.
When I boot I am greeted with the following error:
Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ad0.elia
Manual root filesystem specification:
<fstype>:<device> Mount <device> using filesystem <fstype>
eg. ufs:da0s1a
? List valid disk boot devices
<empty line> Abort manual input
mountroot>
Any help you could provide would be much appreciated.
Sincerely,
Adam Wood
