- add the key to the luks-Partitions using cryptsetup luksAddKey

- change your crypttab to use the keyfile, e.g.
usr-crypt /dev/hda7 /media/key/keyfile luks
- change CRYPTDISKS_MOUNT in /etc/defaults/cryptsetup to include
your USB stick, e.g. CRYPTDISKS_MOUNT="/media/key"
- rebuild your initrd using update-initramfs -u

Hi, thanks a lot, that worked very well. Just a note: the entry for
the usb stick in fstab has to have the following options:
uid=0,gid=0,umask=277.

By the way, could you explain to me why the update-initramfs -u is
needed? Thanks.
