Marc is right.  I don't see how you can run your computer without
starting /home.  Have a look at the output of dmesg or
"tail /var/log/rsyslog".  The last requires root privileges.  Although
you don't have a system yet, you can view these from a terminal using
<Ctrl> + <ALT> + one of the F keys.  I think that one between F1 and F3
will give you the kernel message without resorting to dmesg.

HTH,

Doug.
