Hello freeBSD-Team,
I believe there is an error in the chapter on disk encrpytion (geli-part).
In the suggested edits to rc.conf, the flags contains -p."-p" means "do not ask for a passphrase", but the text above works with a passphrase. So this is inconsistent and will result in a broken boot sequence.
Although the error was not too hard to spot, such recipes should give a consistent script to play along ... and avoid resulting in a broken system.
Hope you agree and can fix this soon.Nevertheless, a very helpful section :-)


Best, Christian
