Hi, I have a default FreeBSD 10.0/amd64 install. I'm trying to make a GELI device attach at boot. I initialized the partition with -b, and am prompted at boot. When I try to enter the passphrase, I keep getting told that it's incorrect. Once I get into multi-user mode and manually attach the device, it attaches just fine. It seems that GELI isn't finding my key file. My initial root partition is da0p2. The key is /boot/da1p1.key. The GELI partition is da1p1. Here's my loader.conf: geom_eli_load=YES geli_da1p1_keyfile0_load="YES" geli_da1p1_keyfile0_type="da0p2:geli_da1p1_keyfile0" geli_da1p1_keyfile0_name="/boot/da1p1.key" kern.geom.eli.debug=3 Any suggestions? What am I doing wrong here? (Yes, I could just use the installer to do an encrypted install, but then I wouldn't be able to write about this in a book...) Thanks, ==ml -- Michael W.
