What's the straight scoop on booting?

The manuals say that the system when booting fires up /usr/etc/init. In
my younger days a system came up with the root filesystem mounted but
without /usr mounted. I'm not sure I like the new arrangement; I'm
working with some configurations where /usr is just a bunch of symlinks to
other places. What is the copy of init in /sbin for? Do I have to have
/usr mounted at boot time? haynes at ucscc.ucsc.edu haynes at ucscc.bitnet
