           Summary: The manual page for bectl(8) should cover / and /boot
                    not on same device

> [2018-10-16 05:41:30] <grahamperrin> I'm sort of waiting for (or to get my head back around) encrypted ZFS then might start from scratch, maybe with a replacement notebook, rolling bectl into the mix. 

> [2018-10-16 05:57:05] <grahamperrin> … I sped through the man page for bectl, thanks. If I feel adventurous (at a saner time of day): given my GELI-encrypted boot routine, should I even _attempt_ to create a boot environment?

> [2018-10-16 05:59:21] <grahamperrin> Like, I have a very vague long-ago memory of (beadm) boot environments and GELI being not a good mix. Or something like that.

My first attempt to create a boot environment failed as shown at
<https://pastebin.com/R0kw0jnp>. From the head of the paste: 

# date ; uname -v
Fri 26 Oct 2018 05:17:39 BST
FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT r339737 GENERIC-NODEBUG
# bectl create -r 13.0-CURRENT
/ and /boot not on same device, quitting
# 

Documentation: man bectl
========================

The man page should cover, or at least mention, cases such as this. 

<https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=bectl&sektion=8&manpath=FreeBSD+12-current>

Documentation: migration
========================

A Google search for the quit response led me to
<https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2018-August/070984.html>
and: 

> … for GELI support, FreeBSD 12.0 will not require two separate pools anymore, and there will be migration instructions shortly.
