/bin, /sbin, and /etc should *ABSOLUTELY NEVER* be moved off the root
filesystem.  Many things which are required to boot the system are
located in those directories, and they will not be available to init
and its various subprocesses if they are not on the root filesystem.
For example, your system will not be able to enable swap at boot time,
because the program that does this is /sbin/swapon, which will not be
mounted until after swap is normally turned on if it isn't on the root
filesystem.
