So it's a bit of a catch Configuring the encryption removes the root partition setting, but I can't set an encrypted partition as the root partition. The problem was that the installer expects encryption to be used with the Logical Volume Manager.
I created a logical volume of MiB for the boot partition, and used the rest for the root partition. Important : A comment below suggests that MiB for the boot partition is way too low. I've seen some on the internet recommend anything from GiB.
I was then able to specify those partitions' mount points after having done the LVM stuff and setting encryption on the root partition the boot partition remains unencrypted , and was then able to proceed with the installation. The encrypted installation of Debian is well documented in this previous post.

Debian installation with encryption: "No root file system is defined" Ask Question. Asked 1 year ago. Active 1 year ago. Much of this was copied from the official example-preseed shared above. You need to make sure that your mirror settings are properly configured for your specific distribution of Debian.
Here's an example of the vmware-iso builder being used to call this preseed. In this case, it is assumed that the file is saved as preseed. For more functional examples of a debian preseeded installation, you can see the Chef-maintained bento boxes for Debian and Ubuntu.
Version v1. Search Packer documentation. For the other preseeding methods you need to tell the installer what file to use when you boot it. This is normally done by passing the kernel a boot parameter, either manually at boot time or by editing the bootloader configuration file e.
If you do specify the preconfiguration file in the bootloader configuration, you might change the configuration so you don't need to hit enter to boot the installer. For syslinux this means setting the timeout to 1 in syslinux. To make sure the installer gets the right preconfiguration file, you can optionally specify a checksum for the file.
Currently this needs to be a md5sum, and if specified it must match the preconfiguration file or the installer will refuse to use it. If a preconfiguration file cannot be used to preseed some steps, the install can still be fully automated, since you can pass preseed values on the command line when booting the installer. Boot parameters can also be used if you do not really want to use preseeding, but just want to provide an answer for a specific question.
Some examples where this can be useful are documented elsewhere in this manual. If you don't specify the owner, the value for the variable will not be copied to the debconf database in the target system and thus remain unused during the configuration of the relevant package.
Normally, preseeding a question in this way will mean that the question will not be asked. See also Section B. Note that some variables that are frequently set at the boot prompt have a shorter alias. If an alias is available, it is used in the examples in this appendix instead of the full variable.
The installer will automatically filter out any options like preconfiguration options that it recognizes. Current linux kernels 2. If these numbers are exceeded, the kernel will panic crash. For earlier kernels, these numbers were lower. It may not always be possible to specify values with spaces for boot parameters, even if you delimit them with quotes. There are several features of Debian Installer that combine to allow fairly simple command lines at the boot prompt to result in arbitrarily complex customized automatic installs.
This is enabled by using the Automated install boot choice, also called auto for some architectures or boot methods.
