Bug Description
Binary package hint: cryptsetup
Installing with Hardy Alternate, I chose the option to partition the disk with a single encrypted LVM. On boot I am prompted to enter the password for "sda5_crypt", which is not particularly friendly, and it may not be obvious to some users that that refers to the encryption password they set during the installer.
Perhaps something like "Please enter the decryption password for $HOSTNAME:", or "This computer is encrypted, please enter the password to continue:"

Matthew, do you have an opinion what the string should be? Thank you!
