Question... does it have to be an initramfs, or can the vast majority |
9 |
of simple cases be handled by a simple initscript in /bin or /sbin that |
10 |
mounts /usr, and does whatever else is required, before handing off |
11 |
control to /sbin/init. |

I've migrated to mdev, so I won't be seeing this problem, but a simple |
14 |
solution that works for 95% of users might be the way to go. For the |
15 |
more complex situations, an initramfs will be necessary. |
