Hi Rick,

by definition if you need to mount /var (or /usr for this argument),
you need an initrd [1] which actually set up everything as you
requires. Anything else has a tendency to break in unpleasant ways due
to race conditions and such. You don't need much, just enough to set up
everything required for the root and API file systems.
