    Problem with encrypting /boot

    After installing Kali (i selected full disk encryption during the installation), i'm trying so hard to encrypt my /boot partition but i fail everytime.

    What i do is:
    mount --bind / /mnt/
    cp -a /boot/* /mnt/boot/
    cp -a /boot/vmlinuz-* /mnt/boot/
    diff -ur /boot/ /mnt/boot/
    umount /mnt/
    nano /etc/fstab (i remove the 10th line with the UUID /boot ext2 etc)
    I make a backup of my current boot cp /boot/grub/grub.cfg /boot/grub/grub.cfg.backup
    grub-mkconfig > /boot/grub/grub.cfg
    i reinstalled grub loader with echo GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y >> /etc/default/grub
    grub-install /dev/sda

    I didn't received any type of errors during the procedure

    Then i reboot and it doesn't ask for a password when i boot to grub

    Am i missing something?

    Thanks a lot!
