Why prompt, you installed it, just have the startup stop at a certain point, just simply pause. You hit a couple keys (4-8) and go on. Given this case you don't really need the security of a long passphrase since if they are looking to get in, you've lost already.
You'll probably not want it to stop, simpy wait a few seconds. Also, if the passphrase is incorrect you'll not want to issue any error messages.
Stopping the boot may be a good indication of a problem.
So offer the disclaimer that it is f*cked up and will be going straight to the repair shop when you (the traveler) get back to "home". Who are they to know the difference? Reeza!
