	Yep I think this is just an error in sysinstall.  There are certain 
places like installing the boot loader, and apparently crypto, where 
choosing them does not allow you to go ahead to the next step to 
actually perform the install.
	This confused the bajeezus out of me too for a while until I ended up 
doing the same thing you did below, choose one more package that I 
wanted to install, then after that it lets you proceed to installation, 
and it works.

I would file a PR on this, but I've never done it and don't want to 
bungle it.
