End of an era. My first Linux system (predating the existence of
Debian), mounted /usr over NFS over PLIP.
I couldn't afford a large enough harddrive for the second system, nor
ethernet cards (and a local shop was going to charge me $50 to make a
crossover cable if I went that route!).
Anyway, I think it is also pretty common to install merged-usr on LVM
as well, which I think is another reason to need initramfs.
