I also expected unlocking at boot to be handled by the BIOS/UEFI, but according to http://www.trustedcomputinggroup.org/resources/commonly_asked_questions_and_answers_on_selfencrypting_drives it is actually the drive that boots a mini OS/pre boot loader that asks the user for the password and passes the actual MBR back to the BIOS after the drive gets unlocked. Nifty. Regards, Leonard. -- mount -t life -o ro /dev/dna /genetic/research
