Huh. It's been sufficiently long ago that I first did this; IIRC I simply used a bind mount instead of investigating what replaced the symlink.

Granted that some pieces are missing, most notably /boot (which really should be populated from /usr (and /etc) instead of being directly installed to), but that's irrelevant when your usecase is booting containers, and fixable by reinstalling the kernel packages.Seehttps://www.linux.it/~md/text/factoryreset-asg2024.pdf .
