activating loopback encryption on init

[empunkt]

Hello,

i am not really an expert when it goes to scripting.
I've got a loopback crypto device. The key for that device is in an encrypted gpg file.
for starting the device i do the following: extracting key to a ramdisk, setup loopedevice, deleting ramdisk.
for extracting from gpg, there has to be entered the correct password.
Is there any possibility to put have it done on boot with an init.d script. So the system waits for the password when booting?

thanks in advance,

Julian
