OK.

Encrypted disks means that you need to provide an encryption key.

On a normal PC this is normally done by interactively letting the user
type it in at each boot, but most embedded systems needs to be able to
boot unattended (E.G. without a user manually typing in a password), so
you need to store the encryption key somewhere safe.
