-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
Hi there,
I am not sure where to ask this question but I hope this is the right place.
I am trying to setup an encrypted root partition where the key is stored gpg-encrypted on an USB memorystick. So far everything works quite nicely but I fail to get a TTY working in the initial RAM disk.
All I get is gpg complaining: gpg: cannot open '/dev/tty': No such device or address
Any idea what's necessary to get a TTY within the RAM disk? Or is there any other way to pass a passphrase to gpg without displaying it on the screen? (yes, I know about the --no-tty and --passphrase-fd options but when I use /dev/console the passphrase is visible)
Any ideas or hints?
TIA, Harry
