Urgle.  I don't have any machines which mount /usr at the moment,
but I did use to, and there *was* a /usr/bin underneath.  So
your fix would have broken me then.  Hm.....

What about

	set -- `ls -id /usr`
	case "$1 $2" in
		"2 /usr")	;;
		*)		mount /usr ;;
	esac

but that does make the ufs assumption of inode 2 being the root.
Who does that break ? :-)
