IIRC, you are correct. And OpenBSD still sets up distinct partitions for `/bin` and `/lib` etc.

The first PC I built had 7 disk drives in a tower case, four distinct hard drives. Yes it was crazy. But the largest of these by far was 540 MB. It made sense to keep the boot stuff on its own hard drive.

Linux has `boot`, of course, but `boot` should never appear in $PATH. I think.
