I've built up a fresh image with all of the latest changes.

All known bugs are fixed:

1. problems if you restart a GELI based installation (preemptively run
geli detach)
2. problem with GELI+MBR resulting in swap partition being in the wrong
place (swap ended up as s1d instead of s1b)
3. prompt for the password once, instead of 18 times in the case of a 6
disk array
4. even more preemptive zpool labelclear for MBR to kill zombies
5. fixed the mis-scoping of a variable that resulting in the zpool using
the entire device, and making the system unbootable

Other Improvements
1. Better vdev type validation, do not allow the user to make an invalid
selection, if they do prompt them to either cancel or select again
2. change the default name of the unencrypted pool from 'gelipool' to
'bootpool', since gelipool implies it is encrypted when it is not


Attached is a patch against recent head

Below are some re-built ALPHA5 .isos that you can use for testing
