Sigh. I guess this means I can no longer keep my root image on a 1.44MB floppy and a separate /usr on an iomega Zip drive.

  That remains a supported configuration, you just need an initramfs that mounts /usr before transitioning into the real /.

    nope. no room for initramfs on those kind of media.

      If you're already fitting a kernel on a 1.44MB floppy, you've got enough space to append a tiny cpio with a static binary that makes a few syscalls.
