There are several fixes and workarounds I detail, which absolutely
tripped me up for days.  I'm trying to save others the misery.

Like I say, there are a hundred ways to do this, and encryption is
optional of course.

Apparently you didn't pick up that the key file for sd?4 is on sd?2,
which is itself encrypted and can't be unlocked until the luks password
is entered.  The key file for sd?4 is encrypted until sd?2 is unlocked
with the password.
