That's how it normally happens, with or without an initramfs, but |
| 14 |
mounting /usr on / without checking / first could possibly be problematic |
| 15 |
if / turns out to be corrupt. That is the situation David is trying to |
| 16 |

I'm not sure it's a big deal, because if / is badly corrupt, the main |
| 19 |
init will bail out soon enough anyway. |
