I'm trying to unlock an encrypted root partition via SSH. I finally got to the point where I could log in via dropbear and run cryptroot successfully. After that I do a 'killall cryptroot & exit' and the boot process resumes. However, it hangs after populating /dev. I wasn't able to find ANY documentation on this feature aside from the 'wishlist' bug report. Am I doing something wrong?

This is the information I've mostly been going by: http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-dist@lists.debian.org/msg456252.html
