@nina_kali_nina@tech.lgbt That was the guide I started with, but it requires multiple GPT partitions and does the disklabel inside of cgd. Also, an unencrypted root just isn't acceptable in 2026. With FreeBSD I had to cheese it a bit, with a script that pivots to an encrypted root, and that might be feasible with NetBSD, but... the result is so far from what it's setup to do outside of the box that it might conflict if they ever do catch up. I'll check in in another decade. 😔

@indigoparadox@mastodon.social @nina_kali_nina@tech.lgbt So NetBSD doesn't use /boot? The usual issue with Linux around this for the longest time was full-encryption including /boot, while / was trivial. Or is it the same issue? I know of no satisfying answer for that which doesn't rely on either a fancy bootloader (or a fancy booloader + hardware support, that's what UEFI's shenanigans amount to; UKI is a glorified bootloader).
