I see. Thank you. That gives me (I skip the rest after mountcritlocal)

/etc/rc.d/zvol
/etc/rc.d/zfs
/etc/rc.d/dumpon
/etc/rc.d/ddb
/etc/rc.d/initrandom
/etc/rc.d/geli
/etc/rc.d/gbde
/etc/rc.d/encswap
/etc/rc.d/ccd
/etc/rc.d/swap1
/etc/rc.d/fsck
/etc/rc.d/root
/etc/rc.d/hostid_save
/etc/rc.d/mdconfig
/etc/rc.d/mountcritlocal

This makes sense to me and reflects the order I assumed in my description. The question remains, however, if my configuration is of any in {unusual, ..., stupid} as I require first zfs mount of /, then GELI-unlock and then zfs mount of {/usr,/usr/local, ...}.

Anyhow, thanks for setting me up on the proper usage of rcorder.

Cheers,
