If your /usr doesn't require kernel modules (e.g., same harddisk and filesystem as /), you can create an initramfs consisting of Busybox and 2-line /init (mount /usr and switch_root), and forget about it after adjusting bootloader configuration. I guess that OpenRC could even opportunistically try to "fstabinfo --mount /usr 2>/dev/null" in init.sh to support such usecases. -- Maxim Kammerer Liberté Linux (discussion / support: http://dee.su/liberte-contribute)
