Gentoo dropped support for booting without mounting /usr early in boot |
| 6 |
a while back. That isn't to say that it would have instantly stopped |
| 7 |
working, but there is no requirement for package maintainers to |
| 8 |
support this configuration, and many upstreams have been moving in |
| 9 |
directions that will tend to break this. |

There are many ways to get around this. The most common is to mount |
| 12 |
/usr from your initramfs. Another option is to run a script early |
| 13 |
during boot to mount /usr, ensuring that the necessary tools to do so |
| 14 |
are on your root partition. Another option is to put /usr on your |
| 15 |
root partition. I'm sure there are other options as well, but in |
| 16 |
general you can't always rely on your root partition being able to |
| 17 |
mount /usr these days. |
