Hello, I guess this problem has persisted since 6.0 or probably earlier, at least this is where I encountered it first. The geli passphrase prompt (at boottime) doesn't detect keyboard input correctly, sometimes it will detect a key pressed, sometimes it won't etc. I know that disabling kbdmux helped with some people, here it doesn't change geli's behaviour. Also, having different keyboard mapping is out of the question. So, I helped myself with a little script in rc.conf: #!/bin/sh test -e /dev/ad0s2.eli if [ $? -ne 0 ] then geli attach /dev/ad0s2 fi Doing this plus removing the boot flag for the geli device did the trick, all input is detected when asked for passphrase. After being attached, the devices get checked for errors, fragmentation etc. and are mounted correctly as listed in /etc/fstab. Maybe this can help s/o with similiar problems.
