--- Comment #7 from Devin Teske <dteske@FreeBSD.org> ---
Not to pile-on, but if you wanted to use a Yubikey to produce the password for
your root login, that's not currently possible at-present because a Yubikey
produces 44 characters and the limit on bsdinstall rootpass is 32 -- a
shockingly low limit (which to be honest, I was blowing past with no additional
help from anything like a Yubikey)
