I say you need to use (manually) the commands to format a encrypted partition (and set the password): cryptsetup luksFormat <device> mkfs.ext2 ... Maybe is a good idea include this commands inside initramfs. The secret is use the command: cryptsetup isLuks <device> if the <device> is luks formated, return zero code. If not formated, return 234 code. The basically idea is: If is the first use of the system, isLuks return 234 and system show a prompt to set the password. If not, isLuks return zero and just show prompt to enter the password and mount the device.
