How to set GELI password on FreeBSD scripted install using bsdinstall?












0














The FreeBSD bsdinstall program has ZFSBOOT_GELI_ENCRYPTION to turn on GELI-based encryption for unattended installs. But, how would I set the password in the script? I'm using the unattended install method because the box I'm installing on is headless.
