With crypto softraid: installboot copies /boot into a reserved area at

/boot will ask for your passphrase and decrypt the disk before loading
/bsd. The usual trick for dual booting is to jump to or copy the PBR
somewhere. That doesn't change with crypto.
Does it also function that way with RAID 1 softraid volumes?
It would be nice to load the kernel directly off the root filesystem
instead of having two auxiliary filesystems just to hold the kernel.
(And, if it does work this way with RAID 1, when did that start happening?)
