Basically, yep.  If I see a error while booting, in dmesg or some other
logging tool, I can handle it and make changes so that it is fixed. 
When I mentioned on this list about using LVM, I specifically chose to
put / on a normal partition to avoid the init thingy.  If I have to use
a init thingy anyway, I may as well put everything but /boot on LVM. 
Putting / on LVM usually means you have to have a init thingy so that it
can be mounted, from what I have read anyway.  It looked like for a
while that I was going to have one whether I wanted it or not.  Now,
just waiting eudev, which is going to fix it like udev/systemd should to
begin with. 

You pretty much got the idea of it tho.
