Solved How can I do Geli automount (when system boot) couple of disk (system disk SSD and data disk HDD)?

Hello! Could you help me to get ahead in solving the problem installation of FreeBSD12.2 with GELI encrypt?
My installation steps:
SSD (ada0) - system will install here
Code:
# gpart destroy -F ada0
# gpart create -s gpt ada0
HDD (ada1) - data disk
Code:
# gpart destroy -F ada1
# gpart create -s gpt ada1
boot block
Code:
# gpart add -t freebsd-boot -s 64k –l gptboot ada0
# gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptboot -i 1 ada0

create and format boot partition
Code:
# gpart add -t freebsd-ufs -s 1g -l boot ada0
# newfs -U gpt/boot

swap
Code:
gpart add -t freebsd-swap -l swap –s 20g ada0

create partitions for encript
SSD
Code:
#gpart add -t freebsd-ufs -l enc ada0
HDD
Code:
# gpart add -t freebsd-ufs -l enc2 ada1

Geli init couple of parts
Code:
# geli init -l 256 -e aes-xts -b gpt/enc gpt/enc2

and attach
Code:
# geli attach gpt/enc
# geli attach gpt/enc2

format
Code:
#newfs -U gpt/enc.eli
#newfs -U gpt/enc2.eli

mount boot and enc.eli
Code:
# mount /dev/gpt/enc.eli /mnt
# mkdir /mnt/boot2
# mount /dev/gpt/boot /mnt/boot2
# mkdir /mnt/boot2/boot
# cd /mnt
# ln -s boot2/boot boot

I want to mount gpt/enc2.eli here (in autoboot). How can I do it?:
Code:
# mkdir /mnt/HDD
# mount /dev/gpt/enc2.eli /mnt/HDD

backups geli keys
Code:
# mkdir gelibackups
# cp /var/backups/* gelibackups

complete installation
Code:
# exit

last step - configuration files
# vi /boot/loader.conf
Code:
geom_eli_load="YES"
vfs.root.mountfrom="ufs:/dev/da0p4.eli"
# vi /etc/fstab
Code:
/dev/gpt/enc.eli  /        ufs    rw,noatime    1    1
/dev/gpt/boot     /boot2   ufs    rw,noatime    1    1
/dev/gpt/swap.eli none     swap   sw            0    0
# vi /etc/rc.conf
Code:
geli_swap_flags="-e blowfish -l 128 -s 4096 -d"
# exit
I can mount and install system at ssd disk only, but unfortunately I can't mount additional (HDD) disk to automount at system boot.
Could you help me?

Well, it may depend on when you really need the additional HDD mounted. For example, is the drive with /boot isn't required to be mounted for the root system to be mounted (if anything the system accesses the /boot to load the kernel, then root is mounted and finally /boot can be mounted). Either way, the root system is the critical portion. Now if you have say /usr seperated to a different drive, then you could potentially have more issues (I don't know how picky FreeBSD is on core programs necessary to boot in /bin (or /sbin). Now, I do know neither /home or /var are required to boot up, so they can easily be mounted from fstab without any issues (my server is running that way). Swap it's self is NOT required to boot, so can be activated at any time during the boot process (including towards the end; unless you are limited on memory)
