I honestly thought someone was playing a trick on you, sorry.

Now, if you tell me it is not the case, well, I'll just say that the
kernel only knows about '/', and nothing else.  Therefore it needs
/sbin/init to be on it.  To load init, it needs /lib/libc.so and
/libexec/ld.so_elf.  Then init runs /etc/rc, which in turn needs
/bin/sh.

In conclusion, the root partition _must_ contain /etc, /bin, /lib,
/libexec and /sbin.  And you'd better keep /rescue there, too.

I don't think it'd be wise to make sysinst prevent the user from doing
that.  After all, we wouldn't make rm prevent the user from doing -Rf /.
