	I'm pretty sure the way to handle this is: DON'T COPY /usr FILES
ONTO THE ROOT PARTITION. Copy them onto another partition, which you
then mount on /usr during bootup.

	For example, here's what my system has to say about my ra81:

% df
Filesystem  512-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ra0a        19582    12848     5754    69%    /
/dev/ra0d       416734   120038   275858    30%    /usr
/dev/ra0e       393478     1032   372772     0%    /mnt

% /sbin/mount
/dev/ra0a on / type ufs (local)
/dev/ra0d on /usr type ufs (local)
/dev/ra0e on /mnt type ufs (local)

% /sbin/disklabel ra0

# /dev/rra0c:

[stuff deleted]

8 partitions:
#        size   offset    fstype   [fsize bsize   cpg]
  a:    20384        0    4.2BSD     1024  8192    16   # (Cyl.    0 - 27)
  b:    32032    20384    unused        0     0         # (Cyl.   28 - 71)
  c:   908544        0    unused        0     0         # (Cyl.    0 - 1247)
  d:   431704    52416    4.2BSD     1024  8192    16   # (Cyl.   72 - 664)
  e:   424424   484120    4.2BSD     1024  8192    16   # (Cyl.  665 - 1247)


	I hope this helps...
