hello guys,

I backed up my freeBSD 8.2 box by dump command and now want to restore
this dump file on an encrypted file system (i used geli to encrypt my
file system) but do not know how to do that.

is there any way or command to restore an unencrypted dump on an
encrypted file system? i tried to restore my dump file as when file
system is unencrypted.

this is what i've doe: I decrypted my encrypted file system by "geli
attach" command, then mount it and restore dumps. but when i restart
my system, FreeBSD doesn't start up correctly (PXE boot menu is shown
and when i select freeBSD, boot.config runs but nothing happend).


please let me know how i can fix it or if i do something wrong.
yours,
sam
