I have the same setup here (two disks and one contains the encrypted
/home). I solved it as follows:
* On my encrypted home partition, /home/_sysupgrade is a symlink to
/var/_sysupgrade
* On the root (/) partition, /home/_sysupgrade is a symlink to
/mnt/var/_sysupgrade
With these two symlinks I can run sysupgrade as usual when logged in.
After booting into bsd.upgrade the script can find the data sets since
/var/_sysupgrade will be mounted in /mnt on the ramdisk.
This is a hack that's not officially supported and works for me!
Cheers
