April 30 2020 -CURRENT snapshot installer image.

I have a test machine which has encrypted-root-on-ZFS from a previous run of
the same installer; I intend to overwrite this partition. When the install =
USB
stick boots it prompts:

Consoles: EFI console
GELI Passphrase for disk1p3: _

Putting in the passphrase lets the installer proceed as usual. However, if =
I do
not enter the correct passphrase I get:

GELI Passphrase for disk1p3: _

If I don't know the existing passphrase I'm unable to reinstall.
