I also tried with /dev/ada0p3.eli without success. Tried the following two /boot/loader.config variations: 1: geom_eli_load=3D"YES" vfs.root.mountfrom=3D=94ufs:/dev/gpt/enc.eli=94 2: geom_eli_load=3D"YES" vfs.root.mountfrom=3D=94ufs:/dev/ada0p3.eli=94 I can geli attach /dev/gpt/enc or /dev/ada0p3 successfully from the livecd. Can you advise me what I might have done wrong or what I should try? https://www.dan.me.uk/blog/2012/05/05/full-disk-encryption-in-freebsd-9-x-w= ell-almost/ http://namor.userpage.fu-berlin.de/howto_fbsd9_encrypted_ufs.html
