Well, that is not technically correct, just have the required kernel drivers (eg. AHCI and ext2/4) compiled in and use the same busybox commands as in the initrd, but placed in /, to bring up the system to the point that /usr is mounted. I have a static dev, compiled in drivers, busybox init and mount, and separate / and /usr on a box here, works perfectly well. Soo, add a clause about what gentoo supports out of the box and that you can make it work if you wish. If there is a general wish I can write an article about how to make it work.
