That's how it normally happens, with or without an initramfs, but mounting /usr on / without checking / first could possibly be problematic if / turns out to be corrupt. That is the situation David is trying to guard against. I'm not sure it's a big deal, because if / is badly corrupt, the main init will bail out soon enough anyway. -- Neil Bothwick Love is grand.
