Regarding the objections above, which are primarily concerned with the
creation of a non-generic initramfs, how does this alternative suggestion
sound:
- The addition of usr= options analogous to the root= options which
permit the bootloader to specify the /usr filesystem to mount. By
default would do nothing, but grub could be updated to generate
such options on systems with a separate /usr.
Nonsense, should come from /etc/fstab.
Of course. In case it wasn't implicit from the above, this information
would necessarily need to be taken from /etc/fstab by update-grub or
its equivalent for other bootloaders when generating grub.cfg (or its
equivalent).
