Summary: how to modify passwd and rc files

I would like to know how to add a password to the passwd file on the /usr
diskette (same goes for the rc file). If the passwd file is modified in
/dev/ram, how can I modify the /usr diskette so that the new password will be   there the next time I boot up? For the rc file, I want to add some commands 
to prompt the user to insert the /us(e)r diskette then mount it and exit to
the login prompt so that the user can get to his account. Do I have to make
a totally new file system and add what's in RAM (the newly modified passwd
and rc files) to this new file system? What's more, how does one create file
systems for the root and /usr if both are contained in the RAM.

				Thank you,
