I wrote a sort-of long howto about cryptoloop-based encrypted root at
http://www.sdc.org/~leila/usb-dongle

I think it is noted in the TLDP HOWTO.

My efforts focused on a pivot_root boot from a uClibc-based mini-system 
on a USB flash device. The web site has source code and an example 
filesystem image.

I never completed the write-up, as I wanted to personally use 
everything that I documented. I got stuck on the bootable CD, believe 
it or not, but figured out how to do that just a couple of days ago. So 
although the document is a year old, I was planning on dusting it off 
and updating it.

But I must say that I'm in the process of moving my stuff from 
crypto-loop to loop-AES!
