Thanks, again, Davide.

crypttab and fstab should be fine, as init is able to mount the device
correctly. I'm not sure if I have all the correct modules: I ran
mkinitrd with "--with=aes --with=sha256" and tried to boot using the
generated initrd.img, but perhaps there are additional modules I need?

Thanks,
