Fix boot loader on encrypted hard drive
I had issue with lilo boot-loader on my encrypted debian setup, needed to re-install the boot loader, decided to go with grub as lilo was not reliable with encrypted (luks) drives. I found really good write-up on how to fix the boot loader (grub) with encryption here
the only thing I like to add is, if you dont manage to mount your /boot try to force the filesystem type:
mount -t ext2 /boot /mnt/myhdd/boot
