Yes, there is a very real need for that kind of adjustment in such a situation, but you'd have to do it using native/batch scripting since trying to start a bash shell with /usr pointing off into empty space will probably not end well. Since the question seemed to be looking for the POSIX form of the rootdir I assumed that the mount tables had already been frobbed.
