Do it in stages:

Stage 1
Devuan install CD:
partition 1 unencrypted /boot
partition 2 Luks encrypted everything else

Stage 2
Copy /boot over onto /
* rebuild the initramfs in the NEW /boot on / *
^^^ you will need to hack the initramfs-tools scripts or they will exclude the Luks key ^^^

Stage 3
Rip apart the new initramfs and confirm correctly built, repeat Stage 2 if not.

Stage 4 - point of no return'ish
Re-configure and re-install grub to load the kernel from partition 2 /boot

Stage 5 - ok i lied, it's Linux and anything is recoverable almost
Boot into recovery from the Devuan Install CD
Re-install grub to boot the first partition kernel, the original /boot.
Have a cup of coffee and work out what you did wrong and try Stage 2 on again :)

I kept two differing grub configurations making life easier by symlinking, unencrypted in partition 1 /boot, encrypted in partition 2 /boot
When you are satisfied, wipe partition 1.
