Joel did not say that was his setup, did he? In my original post I stated that I would avoid FDE because of the need to boot the machine unattended. I assumed Joel's setup were similar. But it would be really interesting to have softraid FDE on top of RAID. Can it be done? I tried a couple of times yesterday with both i386 and amd64 current, but it did not work for me either; boot(8) appeared not being able to find the kernel.
