Did you see the ask for the passphrase on boot option for the
partition?  It's the -b option, and you can fix that w/:
geli configure -b /dev/ada0p3.eli

The guide you referenced does use the -b in the geli init command...

What does ? say that the mount root prompt?

Just so you know, don't be disappointed w/ the performance of geli
in 9.2...  I plan on back porting the changes I've made to HEAD back
to 9 at some point, and then you'll finally get decent performance..
Most of my changes will be in 10.0-R, we'll see if the my latest change
makes it in to 10.0-R or not...
