How do I do it on root-on-ZFS?Last I checked, the automated installer created a separate pool called "bootpool," with a symlink from /boot to /bootpool. Check to see "bootpool" exists; if so, it's not mounted, which is another problem that needs addressing. If it doesn't exist, then something has changed and I have no idea what to do. -- :: Brandon J.

The bug report pointed to says the same thing but the new issue is it is not documented in the Handbook and/or not mounted by default (for someone who is brand new to ZFS it is very counter intutive to see a symlink pointing off into space) On Sun, Oct 16, 2016 at 6:21 PM, Brandon J.

This is required until the boot loader is capable of recognising and accessing a geli encrypted disk. Regards, Ben -- -- From: Benjamin Woods woodsb02 at gmail.com
