It's not unusual to have no /usr/bin at first,
see "Setting Up Unix" in the 7th ed man, vol2b:
"The system as distributed has all of the binaries in /bin. Most of
them should be moved to /usr/bin, leaving only the ones required for
system maintenance (such as icheck, dcheck, cc, ed, restor, etc.)
and the most heavily used in /bin. This will speed things up a bit
if you have only one disk, and also free up space on the root file
system for temporary files."
