Holy moly, this works! :-D This was almost too easy, after all the days I was pulling my hair. Thank you so very much, Karsten! Still installing, pretty slow with that SD-card as "HDD" (with all the caveats). But LUKS already is configured and working, yay! I learned quite a bunch about ARM, funny bootup methods and how awesome flexible Debian and Linux is. Thank you, you are a scholar and wizard!
