Hi,

	I've been playing around with geli and I was wondering if anyone 
managed to actually use the feature which loads the keyfile before the 
root filesystem is mounted.

	Specifically, to use something similar in /boot/loader.conf:

geli_da1s3a_keyfile0_load="YES"
geli_da1s3a_keyfile0_type="da1s3a:geli_keyfile0"
geli_da1s3a_keyfile0_name="/boot/keys/da1s3a.key"

	If it worked, please let me know. I couldn't do it on a 6.1-REL0. 
(keeps saying password is wrong, probably because it doesn't "see" the 
keyfile). Of course, the .key file is on unencrypted media.

	I appreciate your time and suggestions.

Thanks,
