That has been an issue for a while, at least for me, under prior
versions of Fedora using dm-crypt/luks.

With F9, I took a different approach, which was to create a clear
partition for /boot and then use LVM to create an encrypted partition group
for everything else (eg. /, /home, etc.).

Thus, I only get prompted once for the LUKS passphrase at boot.

That approach might not work for everyone, but given that F9 supports
setting this up in Anaconda, it was much easier than on prior versions,
where one had to fiddle with the partitioning/encryption/mapping/config
process manually.

HTH,
