Petite boot and encrypting /boot

You can still encrypt part of your disk without the patched firmware, but you will need to have an unencrypted bootloader (like GRUB), since something needs to decrypt the rest of the drive. Having Petitboot able to decrypt drives makes things a bit simpler and also means the entire drive can be encrypted (and you can even have Petitboot be the bootloader too).

oh I see. thanks for that clarification. For some reason I assumed it was already capable of doing that. Glad its an option now though. Id rather not use GRUB
