Thanks Devin for your hints:
However, for others who had similar problems I am adding some changes
to your step-by-step instructions:
Step 1. Boot into LiveCD
Step 2. Execute the following commands...
mkdir /tmp/bootpool
zpool import -f bootpool (without -f option it refuses to import)
zfs set mountpoint=/tmp/bootpool bootpool
zfs mount -a
cp /tmp/bootpool/boot/encryption.key /tmp/
zfs umount -a
zfs set mountpoint=/bootpool bootpool
zpool export bootpool (changed from zfs to zpool)
geli attach -k /tmp/encryption.key /dev/ada0p3
geli attach -k /tmp/encryption.key /dev/ada1p3
# NB: Substitute ada0p3 for proper disk
# NB: Repeat for each disk in the zroot pool
zpool import
At this point, the final "zpool import" shows the zroot.
Is there a version-specific instructions to recover the borked
environment in FreeBSD10 after the above steps?
Thank you again!
