What kind of question is that? You could skip filing a bug, and we can skip looking into it. There are a few people who have mentioned issues, and thus far they have been providing incredibly bad reports, as in, they have *NO LOG* of the upgrade, and they assume we should be able to read tea leaves or something. As for "FDE", whatever that means! There are numerous ways to setup such systems because the installer doesn't do it native, and I believe MANY PEOPLE have set it up using bizzare configurations, and if bsd.rd doesn't know what is going on.. I want to also mention I remain bewildered that we provide source, that the install script is on the install media, that the install media can be mounted, that the install script can be edited to make it more verbose to help in debugging UNDESCRIBED configurations WE DON'T HAVE, but hey .... self-help seems to be a completely foreign concept.
