Hello, Gentoo. I've been thinking about the problem of the conflation of every executable into /usr. If /usr isn't on /, the system can't boot without special preperations. Nothing new here.
The method usually discussed is to copy the booting software into an initramfs on a partition other than /usr, and use this to mount /usr. My question: what, technically, prevents me from copying the booting software instead to /sbin and booting the system that way? -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
