Hi Kyle, Thnaks for your asnwer. I have not got it to work with that configuration. What did work was to replace the /efi/boot/BOOTx64.efi with loader.efi and and change the content of startup.nsh with loader.efi. Withoyt the above answer I wouldn't have figure it out that quickly so thanks! I will investigate further once I have more time (early next week probably). > > > From memory, the partitions on ada0 and ada1 are as folows: > > > > 1 efi > > 2 freebsd-boot > > 3 freebsd-swap > > 4 freebsd > > p4 is a geli partition with zfs in it. > > ada0p4.eli and ada1p4.eli form a mirrored zpool (called zroot).. > > > > The boot process no longer asks for a GELi password.

I did not set this sysctl so most likely that was the cause. As the system is up and running again I didn't test it. Let me know if you want me to. -Guido _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
