Cool. I have not yet upgraded to 0.118 because of serious bugs. How might I
set it up to mount /usr at boot time?
(Alternatively: Used to be possible to demand certain modules be included in
the initrd. Initramfs now defaults to "all/most." I used to use "dep." Were
some item in /usr... be actually needed at boot, could that be specified for
inclusion to initramfs?)
