Oops, you're right, telinit 1 doesn't work as expected in Gentoo (are there |
| 18 |
any bugreports about it?). However, I can reboot into RL 1 just fine and |
| 19 |
umount /usr w/o problems. I can also use ls just fine with /usr unmounted, |
| 20 |
all fs maintenance tools should also work. |

However, after trying it out, it seems that even telinit 3 (when booted into |
| 23 |
RL 1) doesn't work properly, so using a LiveCD indeed looks to be the |
| 24 |
better option for the moment. |
