- there are problems with this: notably, straight bsd systems
- aren't "meant" to mount /usr when they're brought up into single user
- mode.
-
- i assume you're running with / and /usr physically residing in the same
- partition. otherwise, i don't see how this could work -- sh is in
- /bin, so you couldn't even run /etc/rc, if / and /usr were in different
- partitions.
-
- I think any Sun admin who saw you running with / and /usr in the same
- partition would die laughing.
-
- there are many more changes which are necessary to move stuff
- from /bin into /usr/bin, and make it 'stick' properly.
