The change was to switch:

geli_nvd0p2_keyfile0_load="YES"
geli_nvd0p2_keyfile0_type="nvd0p2:geli_keyfile0"
geli_nvd0p2_keyfile0_name="/boot/keys/geli.key"

to this:

geli_nda0p2_keyfile0_load="YES"
geli_nda0p2_keyfile0_type="nda0p2:geli_keyfile0"
geli_nda0p2_keyfile0_name="/boot/keys/geli.key"

in loader.conf and things worked again.

Not sure if this is really needed or the right fix but that's as much as
I got remotely.
