Default Using vnd as keydisk for bioctl?

Hi.
Is it possible to use a vnd(4) as a keydisk for bioctl(8)?
(crypted disk mount on /mnt/xyz correctly with one keydisk)

My attempt:
Code:
$ doas dd if=/dev/zero of=disk.img bs=1g count=1

$ doas vnconfig disk.img 
vnd0

$ doas disklabel -E /dev/vnd0c
Label editor (enter '?' for help at any prompt)
/dev/vnd0c> p g
OpenBSD area: 0-2097152; size: 1.0G; free: 1.0G
#                size           offset  fstype [fsize bsize   cpg]
  c:             1.0G                0  unused

error of reasoning or really not possible?

I am able to use a vnd(4) device as a bioctl(8) keydisk, as follows:
  • Create the backing store with vmctl(8)
  • Create the disklabel partition, type RAID
  • Name the partition in a bioctl(8) -c C command as a -k option.
I did not attempt to overlay any data in the key device.

Edited to add my example:
Code:
# vmctl create -s 1g /tmp/key.disk
vmctl: raw imagefile created
# vmctl create -s 5g /tmp/encrypt.disk
vmctl: raw imagefile created
# vnconfig vnd0 /tmp/key.disk
# vnconfig vnd1 /tmp/encrypt.disk
# disklabel -E vnd0
Label editor (enter '?' for help at any prompt)
vnd0> a a
offset: [0]
size: [2097152]
FS type: [4.2BSD] raid
vnd0*> w
vnd0> q
No label changes.
# disklabel -E vnd1
Label editor (enter '?' for help at any prompt)
vnd1> a a
offset: [0]
size: [10485760]
FS type: [4.2BSD] raid
vnd1*> w
vnd1> q
No label changes.
# bioctl -c C -k /dev/vnd0a -l /dev/vnd1a softraid0
softraid0: CRYPTO volume attached as sd2

The vmctl(8) command used to manage hypervisor guests has a "create" option which creates sparse files.

I have added my console output to my response above, where you can see I used the vmctl(8) command to create the backing storage for a 1 GB key disk and a 5 GB encrypted disk.

Ok, In your example, you initiate softraid with the virtual disk, created by vmctl. I understand.
(egual process than using dd)

But, in the use case, where the softraid was created with a keydisk, and backuped.
How can I use the backup as virtual disk?

I just tested backup and recovery of the key partition using dd(1). Works fine. To keep it manageable I used a small, 5MB key disk.
Code:
# # create disks:
# vmctl create -s 5m /tmp/key.disk
vmctl: raw imagefile created
# vmctl create -s 5g /tmp/encrypted.disk
vmctl: raw imagefile created
# vnconfig vnd0 /tmp/key.disk
# vnconfig vnd1 /tmp/encrypted.disk
# disklabel -E vnd0

@jggimi: thanks.
But, I dont known why, this not runs on my use case. (perhaps, it's due to I use crypted HD).

Please note that my backup and restore were of the keydisk partition (backup from: /dev/rvnd0a, restore to: /dev/rvnd2a), only, and were not of the entire drive.
