I just had a thought. I have /usr on the root partition now.

I already have a kernel and such in /boot. When I did a search, I found where someone posted they used force with dracut to get it to install a init thingy. I used it and it did build and put one in /boot. Thing is, I've never had to use force before and figure something is wrong somewhere. This is /boot.
