Bug Description
when using friendly-recovery on my system with a detached /usr partition, friendly-recovery successfully launches sulogin due to the absence of whiptail; but before it does so, it spews out a lot of errors about missing commands because expr, printf, gettext.sh, basename, and others are located in /usr/bin.
Perhaps this script should short-circuit at the top if /usr/bin is absent, and just invoke sulogin directly at that point.

* Check for whiptail earlier in friendly-recovery to avoid noise
