Install 9.04 inside existing encrypted LVM?

I am trying to install 9.04-beta on a partition inside an existing
encrypted LVM.

I used the alternate 386 CD.  I didn't seem to recognize my encrypted
LVM, so I went to a text console and mounted things manually.  The
partitioner could then see the partition and install on it.  Cool.

But when I tried to boot the kernel loads (/boot isn't encrypted) but it
didn't know to ask for a password and to decrypt the LVM.  I tried
editing the menu.lst entry on the example of my previous set up...

I am thinking the initrd isn't set up right.  I tried installing on a
USB memorystick and lifting that initrd, but no go.

Is there a right way to do this?  Suggestions on how to hack what I have
now to boot??


Thanks,
