@jggimi , @ocicat , Thank you very much !!
I'm sorry for the bad articulation & the typo .. I have several OpenBSD boxes .. some are SATA disks and some are just flash sticks .. at times I change disks (for the same laptop) .. they are not encrypted nor have passphrases .. what I was asking about :
a way to set a passphrase to use at the initial boot phase.I would hope the passphrase would still be asked for when trying to boot the respective disk using another machine (other laptop/server) ..
Then would using that passphrased disk -this time not as a boot OS but as an sd** - be mountable without having to supply a passphrase ? if yes then how would I force using a passphrase ?
(I want to prevent intruders from booting/mounting my disks .. yet +security when physical security is gone :-) )
