Hello, Freebsd-geom. I've installed 10-RELEASE on laptop with geli + ZFS, and now it is annoying, that geli password prompt is overwritten by next kernel messages (about USB devices) and prompt is very plain and dull :) But we have forth in our loader, so nice screen could be written with some message like "This Laptop belongs to Lev Serebryakov <phone> <email>, Please enter master password to boot:" and input line in nice frame could be programmed (in addition to our standard boot menu). But is it possible to pass password string from loader to geom_eli? "man geli" doesn't show such possibility :( -- // Black Lion AKA Lev Serebryakov <lev@FreeBSD.org>
