I've never done disk encryption, so I can only speak to the LVM parts
of this.
If you're planning to use LVM for everything except /boot, then your
third and fourth steps above are incorrect. You don't want to create
a regular root file system on sda6 if you're planning to use sda6 for LVM.
What you want to do instead is:
1) Create your /boot partition + file system as you did.
2) Create a partition to hold the LVM subsystem, but do not mount it.
3) Go into the LVM subsystem, and turn your empty partition into a
volume group.
4) Create logical volumes within the VG for each file system you want,
including root.
However, since you were trying to do encryption as well, you should
definitely look for advice from someone who has done that.
