by the way, there are easier ways to achieve this:
- the crypsetup package ships a luksformat script that does both
above-mentionned steps
- Squeeze's GNOME ships gnome-disk-utility, aka palimpsest, that does
the same in a GUI.
Ok, use luksformat. If works, thats ok.

Well, ok, but how is the Live system supposed to guess what block
device should be Luks-formated?
The device on which the system is running. Is solution for live USB, not live CD/DVD.
Bye,
