Dropping to a shell, opening the disk, and  re-detecting hard drives allows me to carry out the installation (as long as there's a filesystem in the mapped device), but on reboot I'm at an initramfs without cryptsetup.  So I use a debian-live to pivot into the system to create a crypttab.  I find I also have to install cryptsetup.  Then I run update-initramfs.  Here is where I'm stuck.  The new initramfs still does not include cryptsetup.  Why is it not recognizing the crypttab?

Hello,


In the file “/etc/cryptsetup-initramfs/conf-hook”, there is a line 
“CRYPTSETUP” which is commented and/or has the default value “n”. If 
this is the case, replace the line with “CRYPTSETUP=y”. So, the next use 
of the command “update-initramfs” should solve your problem if I 
understood it correctly.

I think “CRYPTSETUP=y” is automatically set if you create an encrypted 
partition by following the installer’s instructions, but not when you do 
it outside these instructions.
