Ah interesting. I thought an unmerged system would be able to boot up with
stuff from /bin, /sbin, /lib and other top level directories up to the
point to be able to mount /usr without the help of mounting within
initramfs. At least with sysvinit, openrc or runit. AFAIR Systemd required
mounting a separate /usr in initramfs since a long time.
