Hello Dieter,
I grabbed the latest netinstall image for i686, and I tried to do an
install with dm_crypt.  It failed.
AIF tossed the following error message when it tried to make
a filesystem on /dev/mapper/cryptoroot:
Error: process_filesystem needs a partition as $1.

Here is what I specified during the "manually configure block devices"
stage:
* /dev/sda1 mounts on /boot, and has an fs type of ext4.
* /dev/sda2 is swap.
* /dev/sda3 is of type dm_crypt, and the label is cryptoroot.
* /dev/mapper/cryptoroot contains an ext4 filesystem, and it mounts on /.
I also indicated that all filesystems should be re-created.

PS.  This is my first attempt to use dm_crypt, so it's possible that I
may have made a mistake.
