    Well, obviously your kernel cannot find init. On my box it is in
    /sbin/init, and is likely the same for yours. What is happening is
    that your kernel is looking somewhere for init and not finding it,
    either as a result of an improperly mounted filesystem or lack of its
    existence. See what init other kernels find and try passing the path
    to one on a properly mounted root file system by passing a correct
    "root=" option (like "root=/dev/hda1") and init option (like
    "init=/sbin/init") and see where that might get you. I seem to
    remember that one could define where init is in the kernel
    configuration, or just pass it at boot time.
