I was intending to do a number of changes to the encryption stuff this summer anyway, so I'll take that into account. I'll probably up the default number of tries of the root volume to 2 or 3. > Also, if root is not encrypted but some other partition is, can the init > script time out and continue booting without the encrypted partition?

Adding support for a variety of options including a timeout is in my plans already. Regards, Alex
