Description

There is no sys-fs/cryptsetup support in kernel. CONFIG_BLK_DEV_DM and CONFIG_DM_CRYPT should be compiled in or built as modules. dm-crypt module should be added into /etc/conf.d/modules in second case.

Target version set to 10.2

I will add support CONFIG_BLK_DEV_DM and CONFIG_DM_CRYPT, but the module dm-crypt into the Startup you will need to write yourself.

An afterthought: dm_crypt does not boot automatically. What about those who doesn't know about it?

If I understand correctly this is still not enough to support booting from an encrypted partition.
For prepare the system for yourself you can use the Interactive system build.
You can share the results of its work and we will add support for the next releases.
