+This hook allows for multiple encrypted root devices. Users should specify the
+device to be unlocked using 'cryptdevice=device:dmname' on the kernel command
+line, where 'device' is the path to the raw device, and 'dmname' is the name 
+given to the device after unlocking, and will be available as /dev/mapper/dmname.
+
+Subsequent devices must be specified the same way, but with cryptdevice1=,
+cryptdevice2= and so on, in order. Passwords will be cached and attempted to
+re-use them on the next device, and if that fails, a new password will be asked
+for.
+
+For unlocking via keyfile, 'cryptkey=device:fstype:path' should be specified on
+the kernel cmdline, where 'device' represents the raw block device where the key
+exists, 'fstype' is the filesystem type of 'device' (or auto), and 'path' is
+the absolute path of the keyfile within the device.
+
+Without specifying a keyfile, you will be prompted for the password at runtime.
+This means you must have a keyboard available to input it, and you may need
+the keymap hook as well to ensure that the keyboard is using the layout you
+expect.

+This is the standard archlinux encrypt hook extended to support multiple encrypted devices via cryptsetup= cryptsetup1= cryptsetup2= etc.
+
+Hopefully one day it will be merged with the normal archlinux cryptsetup package (ask for it [here](https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/23182)), until then it will be available via the aur here:
