:: Being able to say "Here's a 600MB Linux partition, lets put /, swap and :: /usr in there" is what I'm curious about doing.
: You could compile a kernel with CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP and use the loop : driver...
Maybe, but that would be inefficient, and probably not stable enough. However, you can do this today by splitting this 600MB DOS-style partition into BSD-type slices. Thus, this is a user-space matter.
