This was my understanding as well, and what it is on my SGL systems, for the 
very reason that root needs to have a shell and certain tools (oh, mount 
might be useful) upon the / filesystem.  This is also incidentally in line 
with eth Filesystem Hierarchy Standard, to which SGL attempts to conform: 
http://www.pathname.com/fhs/2.2/fhs-3.14.html

So, yes, if you do not have these things in /sbin on your system, there is 
something specifically wrong on your system (and very much so, incidentally 
:) ).
