This stuff is poorly documented. >From looking at https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-geom/2014-June/005944.html, it looks like this should work, but it doesn't. geli_da1p1key_keyfile0_load="YES" geli_da1p1key_keyfile0_type="da0p2:geli_keyfile0" geli_da1p1key_keyfile0_name="/boot/da1p1.key" boot_verbose=1 Any suggestions, folks? Is there a good explanation out there anywhere? All I've found are PRs and very specific mailing list posts aimed at specific situations. If I can figure out the general case, I'll get it in the man page. Thanks, ==ml -- Michael W.
