Booting a GELI encrypted hard disk

[Steve Bertrand]

Hi all,

I am voraciously attempting to get a FreeBSD system to boot from a GELI
encrypted hard disk, but am having problems.

All of my searches lead to the same problem...GELI passphrase can not be
entered correctly upon boot. I have tried everything I have found on the
web (including disabling 'kbdmux' in the kernel) to no avail.

Is there any chance that anyone here has found a resolution to this
problem, in the 6.x branch, and if not, has it been looked/resolved
within -current?

Does anyone have a suggestion for a workaround?

Thanks for any advice.
