Disc encryption during installation

2011-11-09 Thread Luis Henriques
Hi,

I was wondering whether there is any work being done in order to provide
support for (full) disk encryption during installation.  I know this can
be done by installing a minimal system, manually setup encryption and
install.  But it would be nice to have something working out-of-the-box...

P.S.: please keep me on CC, I'm not on the list.

Cheers,

Hi Luis,

If you install FreeBSD with the PC-BSD installer, you can select the
disk encryption option.  See here for more information:

Hope that helps,
Greg

Thanks a lot for your reply.  I am not quite familiar with PC-BSD and I
was not aware it had this built-in.

Unfortunately, I am not actually targetting x86 platforms, which means that
PC-BSD is not an option.
