My partitions are something like this.  Normal partitions, /boot and
root itself.  /usr and /var on LVM.  Those are on one drive.  I also
have /home on LVM on its own drive.  At that point, I'm pretty sure /usr
wasn't mounted.  I think / and /boot were only mounted ro too.  It was
somewhat early in the boot process.

I'm trying to build one following the wiki.  So far, nothing.  I got
some neato error messages tho.  So far, nothing in /boot that look
inity.  This is why I don't like these things.  I finally got one to
build a long time ago and it booted several times.  Then one day, the
init thingy failed.  I edited grub and booted without the init thingy
and it booted fine.  When I tried again, the init failed again just like
before so I booted without it and then deleted the thing since it didn't
work anyway.  That was the last time I had one on here. 

This could get fun.  I figure I will be very pissed before the day is
over.  This could be a hal type situation.  Old timers know what that
means.
