I can get the machine to execute commands from the /usr partition when in single-user mode but when I try and boot to multi-user lots of things crash out and core dump. Network card is an NE1000. So my question is this: Am I trying to do something that is not supported yet? Or can I get this to work? Currently I think that by having a "stub" /usr to get enough of the network going and then NFS mounting the full /usr over it at the right moment in /etc/rc I shouldn't have a confused machine. Or is there another way of going about this?
