I am sorry it took so long to get back to you. The only difference
with an encrypted partition is that it asks you for the pass phrase
after it asks you if you want to mount the file systems. If you have
more then one encrypted partition, you have the option of checking
the box indicating that it is the global pass phrase, or entering a
pass phrase for each encrypted partition.
