Just like how "crypt" module opens luks encrypted root via cryptsetup. It would be great if dracut could unlock bcachefs encrypted partitions a similar way. In userspace the way to unlock a bcachefs encrypted drive and mount it is:
bcachefs unlock /dev/sdaX
# type password
mount /dev/sdaX /mountpoint
However, it is a bit different on systemd for some reason where you need to specify a -k value. And from my testing in fedora 40 beta (my current system uses openrc) I had this issue where I had to type the password again when mounting it (could be a bug with fedora 40 beta).
bcachefs unlock -k session /dev/sdaX
# type password
bcachefs mount /dev/sdaX /mountpoint
# type password again

There is more of an explanation on their website https://bcachefs.org/Encryption/.
