Eef already stated this, but it's important enough to restate: /bin and
/sbin (and /etc, and /lib) *must* be on the same partition as /. The
reason is that, in single-user mode, there's no guarantee that all
filesystems will be available, so the kernel must be able to mount / and
be able to run any binaries init needs (including init) from /. (If you
need fsck, for example, it better be on /.)
