Does Limine boot loader support full disk encryption?

Hi,

My Slackware system has full disk encryption (fde), besides the /EFI and the /boot partitions and is using Elilo to boot.

But, on one hand, Elilo has had no devolopment in the last years, and on the other hand, there's another thread in this sub-forum that refers to Elilo being unable to boot a system with fde with the newest kernel version.

I couldn't find anything about booting a fde Slackware with the Limine boot loader.
Can it be done?
Is there an example showing how?

Thanks.

This is not a topic I have personal experience with, but I found a couple of articles that should help you get started in your research.

This tutorial is about Ubuntu, but it looks like a nice reference.

This article is about an older version of Slackware, but it should also be worth a look.
