mfsbsd root password does not work

Question

mfsbsd root password does not work

Using bsdploy from git d5efe1f

Used the 10.0 mfsbsd image for booting an virtualbox instance like described in the quickstart documentation.

After running ploy bootstrap it ends up waiting for input of the root password of the mfsbsd. The default mfsbsd password (mfsroot) does not work. Login via normal cmdline ssh with the default password does work.

After bootstrap the root user has no password set and you can only ssh in with your ssh key. On the console (VM window, or keyboard of a physical server) you can login without password by default.

The password prompt comes during the bootstrap, not after.

Could you provide terminal output and or screenshots? I don't understand exactly when this is happening.

I have bootstrapped quite a few times with different FreeBSD versions and it works for me. Since there was no reaction in a while, I'm closing the ticket. Feel free to reopen if the problem persists and you can provide the requested infos for debugging.
