Dual boot encrypted Arch & encrypted Debian? [SOLVED]

Hi there, basically I'm trying to dual boot Arch (with LUKS encryption using LVM) and Debian testing with similar encryption, LVM. I'm wondering the best way to go about this?

In which order should I install them? Should I use the same /boot partition or make separate ones?

I would greatly appreciate some info if someone has a similar setup. Thanks!

Re: Dual boot encrypted Arch & encrypted Debian? [SOLVED]

Solved the issue. Used two separate /boot partitions, installed Debian first. Then while setting up Arch I used cryptsetup luksOpen to activate the Debian encrypted volume, and GRUB ended up adding it automatically.
