Sorry for not mentioning that I'm aware about the possibility of having several mini partitions on the key disk, one for each encrypted machine. Also, the -P switch in bioctl(4) has nothing to do with the creation of a key disk since the passphrase is generated automatically when invoking # bioctl -C force -c C -l /dev/wd0d -k /dev/sd0d softraid0 What I'm looking for is a way to have only one key disk partition for multiple machines. (Perhaps also a way to manually specify a passphrase in case of a lost/forgotten key disk, or a way to create a new key disk in case of a corrupted image. But I may be way out on this one..)
