Surely if a program needs to run before filesystems are mounted then
it counts as an essential OS binary and should be in /bin or /sbin ?

From the FHS:

"/bin contains commands that may be used by both the system
administrator and by users, but which are required when no other
filesystems are mounted (e.g. in single user mode). It may also
contain commands which are used indirectly by scripts.
