Would it be possible to make FreeBSD's bootcode aware of geli encrypted volumes? I would like to enter the password and begin decryption so that the kernel and /boot are inside the encrypted volume. Ideally the only unencrypted area of the disk would be the gpt protected mbr and the bootcode. I know that Truecrypt is able to do something like this with its truecrypt boot loader, is something like this possible with FreeBSD without using Truecrypt?home | help
