I'll backup the keys on CD.

I think there are examples in the manual page. I could use /dev/fd0 directly but then I had to use the same key for all 6 HDD's in the server. I got a solution by hacking /etc/rc.d/geli - I'm just mounting the floppy there before it tries to read the key. Thanks for all the people giving suggestions!
