Bug Description

boot ends before rpool loads with a failure to find the crypttab file, which doesn't exist.

Maybe this has a dependency upon a package that makes that?

I suspect this is due to my not having cryptsetup-initramfs installed. Without that, cryptroot never gets created.

cryptsetup-initramfs's /usr/share/local-top/cryptroot
has this: mkdir -p /cryptroot # might not exist yet if the main system has no crypttab
