I was testing Xen Dom0 last friday, and I too have a geli encrypted root,
but I my case I do see the prompt (it does get a bit hidden by USB device
detection, something I've reported before and IIRC a solution is in the
works).
I do end up with just a blank square in the top... I've searched a bit and
someone as reported the same issue and some patch (to xen-kernel I believe)
were made to the git repo, I had no time to rebuild with the git version
though, but I might try again next week (and who knows maybe the patches
are merged to the port).
In any case I do use a geli encrypted root and I get the passphrase prompt,
I'm running:
FreeBSD 11.0-CURRENT #9 r281243FreeBSD 11.0-CURRENT #9 r281243
Also if important:
pkg info |grep xen
xen-4.5.0 Xen Hyvervisor meta port
xen-kernel-4.5.0 Hypervisor using a microkernel design
xen-tools-4.5.0_1 Xen management tool, based on LibXenlight
