1) Putting it in "/bin" won't help; "/bin" is just a symbolic link to
"/usr/bin".

2) You put it in "/single", instead, along with "hostname", "ifconfig", "init",
and "sh".  That's all you need to get "/usr" mounted.  (Yes, you may need
"ifconfig", if you're mounting "/usr" over NFS; "hostname" is used to do
"ifconfig".
