All right, I tried it, added the keyfile to geli headers so I can now unlock the encrypted drive with plaintext password OR the keyfile. The only problem is that my USB stick is recognized too late during boot process. The encrypted HDD is recognized first and, since there is no USB stick...

Hello all, This question is going to be an easy one. I have geli encrypted HDD and I use a password to unlock it on boot (encrypted root resides there). I would like to use a keyfile because I'm simply too lazy to write the password every time. Since this is going to be my first attempt I would...

Solution Thanks to Beeblebrox and Ordoban for all the patience, help, and insights. It's been a frustrating ordeal, but at least I learned a thing or two during the process. In post #14, Ordoban said "This loader needs all files in a /boot/ sub-directory, so you must create one and move all...

You can try a zpool scrub to make sure zfs is consistent and try running sysutils/smartmontools to check if your disks report any error. You can also try fsck'n the USB if it's UFS on top. However, I think the most likely candidate is some sort of flaky hardware and the highest on the...

Actually not kvm_getevnvv Thanks for this -- however, after configuring proc to mount at startup, I still have system freezes (I got one immediately at the next startup); however, there was no more kvm_getenvv -related output in /var/log/messages (in fact there was no output to...
