Re: Crypto softraid is supported on GPT/UEFI boot and not just on BIOS/MBR boot, right?

Are you running -current?
(We would already know that if you had included a dmesg -- tsk tsk).

In -current, boot is version "3.33", not "3.32".

That looks OK, though. Passing the softraid disk is correct.

It looks like you're using GPT on both the physical and the
softraid disk, correct?

In my setup, I have GPT on the physical disk (sd0) but an MBR
on the softraid volume. So perhaps try using an MBR on sd1 and
see if that helps?
I am poking in the dark here. No idea if that will work for you.
