hello

on my Gentoo server I have implemented encryption using LUKS. i'm booting off of a USB stick with a special initramfs on it, basically not so much special about, only the init script is capable of reading encryption passwords and keys off usb stick with some kernel parameters.

i would like to do the same with N900, so user data partition could be encrypted. i have not yet dived into discovery mode poking around with power kernel and N900 insides, to see if this can be done, i'd like to find out if anyone has already looked at this.

ideally i would like to connect a usb key to n900 during boot so private keys could be read, not entirely sure right now where usb host mode stands, but password entry capability would suffice too for beginning.
