I tried adding init=/sbin/upstart and it got further but still wasn't
able to boot successfully.  I've since wiped what was on there,
re-installed F13 and then used an F14 Alpha TC2 netinst disc to
upgrade to F14 Alpha.  This time the encrypted partitions are
seemingly dealt with.  However, boot never completes.  I have a photo
of the latter - is it best to make a new bugzilla entry for this, or
put it on your Trac, or?
