            Bug ID: 210815
           Summary: Installer fails to create /mnt/boot during ZFS+GELI
                    install
           Product: Base System
           Version: 11.0-CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: misc
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: jonathan at FreeBSD.org

I am performing a fresh ZFS+GELI install on -CURRENT. After the datasets are
created, I see the following error, which blocks installation progress:

mkdir: /mnt/boot: No such file or directory

This doesn't seem to make a lot of sense, since the *real* error is that
/mnt/boot already exists as a symlink to bootpool/boot. Indeed, which I try to
run mkdir /mnt/boot manually at the command line, I get a "File exists" error.r

I think the problem might be that the bootpool hasn't actually been mounted
yet, so there is no 'bootpool/boot' directory. Is there are step missing in the
installer?
