Also remember that there is a command shell in VT2, which you can use to setup symlinks if you need them. I used to have /var and /usr in the same partition, with /var being a symlink to /usr/var and /usr being the partition itself. Works wonderfully _as long as you do the symlink and partitions right after the "mount root partition" prompt_. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
