What's wrong with: |
| 7 |
* having an "early mounts" list file |
| 8 |
* having an "early modules" list file |
| 9 |
* init system in early boot (e.g., OpenRC in init.sh) loading "early |
| 10 |
modules" and mounting "early mounts" from /etc/fstab |
| 11 |
|

This will solve the issue with most non-complex (i.e., no raid or |
| 13 |
encryption) initramfs-less setups, without requiring that users |
| 14 |
migrate to initramfs (e.g., after dealing with genkernel-generated |
| 15 |
scripts for a long time, I wouldn't touch it with a pointed stick |
| 16 |
anymore). The relevant files can be also generated automatically |
| 17 |
during an upgrade (empty "early modules" and empty or /usr-only "early |
| 18 |
mounts", depending on /etc/fstab contents). |
