That is exactly what I was thinking of, store the key on some removable device. Storing it in the disk itself would mean someone who stole the disk could decrypt it!. My idea is call vnconfig on boot, configuring the devices and reading the key from removable media. I now that it could be done from rc.local, but I'd like to do it on a more generic way.
