suite66 cryptsetup // open a device at boot

Hi!

I'm still learning suite66 and am curious to know how you can open up a LUKS device at boot time. Does suite66 use /etc/crypttab for that purpose? I'd like to know how I can trigger suite66 to ask for a passphrase for, say, a device with a given UUID.
