Everything necessary to boot the system and mount drives is supposed to be in
/etc /lib* and /sbin So a separate /usr is theoretically just a matter of
putting your /usr device into fstab.
If something you need for booting with separate /usr is missing that would be a
FSH bug and is probably worth reporting unless you're doing something truly
arcane with your system.
