If a separate /usr is the only holdback, would it not be possible to |
| 10 |
simply add static devnodes to the pre-udev /dev , and make a pre-init |
| 11 |
wrapper script that mounts /usr ? |

I know that the genkernel initramfs more or less does this (except that |
| 14 |
it only attempts to mount 'root' instead of /usr, iirc), but it wouldn't |
| 15 |
be hard to implement this behaviour in the main system either.. In |
| 16 |
fact, it would probably be possible to emerge a small package that would |
| 17 |
do this very thing (although getting behind a udev-controlled /dev might |
| 18 |
be tricky at emerge-time -- it would need to have a rather heavy |
| 19 |
pkg-postinst). |
