Just do it properly, and fix your disk partitioning scheme. /usr is nowadays required to boot a system properly, so needs to be available during early boot. So, either move /usr to separate partition, so it can be mounted by the initramfs or move the contents of /usr to your root partition. Everything else will just bite you in the long run. -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
