My root= on my kernel boot line is using /dev/by-uuid/ so if the initramfs can find the root device, I'm sure it can find the /usr device from the rootfs /etc/fstab.
I've not noticed any breakage on all my system's that have a seperate /usr, apart from the message doing boot.
Don't you have a boot message saying "minilogd not found" or somesuch?
$ which minilogd -> /usr/sbin/minilogd
By the time /etc/rc.sysinit starts minilogd, /usr is not available, so there's no minilogd and hence, no log of early boot messages.
I'm thinking of solving this particular problem like this:
minilogd requires the following libs:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 11K Oct 18 18:34 /usr/sbin/minilogd lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Sep 9 01:23 /usr/lib32/libc.so.6 -> libc-2.14.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1.4M Sep 9 01:23 /usr/lib32/libc-2.14.so /usr/lib32/libc.so.6: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Sep 9 01:23 /lib/ld-linux.so.2 -> ../usr/lib32/ld-linux.so.2 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 141K Sep 9 01:23 /usr/lib32/ld-2.14.so
I don't know why it asks for libs out of usr/lib32, this output is from (the recursive use of) readelf(1). This is on a 64bit PC.
So I could "mount -B / /mnt/root" and copy the needed file hierarchy to /mnt/root/usr/.
Mkinitcpio already seems to be smart enough:
BINARIES="/usr/sbin/minilogd"
in etc/mkinitcpio.conf should do the trick.

Sorry if I'm terribly mixing things up, but isn't minilogd dead? http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-projects/2011-October/001982.htm...
