You can manually start up the encrypted virtual device using
"cryptsetup luksOpen <device> <name>", where <device> is the
base device, /dev/sd<x>, and <name> is the virtual device you
want to create.
Once the decrypted device is set up, you can then do
"mount /dev/mapper/<name> <mountpt>", where <name> is the same
name as the foregoing command, and <mountpt> is the mount point
where you want to put it.
It's also possible that, after the luksOpen step, the file manager
will pop up with the new device, I'm not sure.
