Details

Grep should go in /bin rather than /usr/bin, especially with its use in rc.sysinit before non-root partitions get mounted. If one has /usr on a separate partition, and uses udev, rc.sysinit will fail to activate udev due to grep being unavailable and try to use a static /dev, causing numerous problems at boot-time.
